PSG exploring shock swap deal involving star midfielder and Real Madrid forward – report | OneFootball

According to a report from Fichajes, it has come to light that Paris Saint-Germain are exploring the possibility of a sensational swap deal that could see midfielder Fabian Ruiz move to Real Madrid, with young Brazilian forward Endrick heading in the opposite direction.

While the proposal is unlikely to materialise, it aligns well with PSG’s growing interest in the Real Madrid starlet, who has yet to make his debut this season.

The debate surrounding Endrick’s future has intensified in recent weeks. The 19-year-old, signed with huge expectations, is still waiting for his first appearance under Xabi Alonso.

His lack of minutes has raised eyebrows, while Paris Saint-Germain continue to monitor the situation closely.

Luis Enrique a big fan

Reports suggest that PSG’s interest comes directly from Luis Enrique, who views Endrick as the perfect player to rejuvenate his attacking options.

The French club is keen to take advantage of the Brazilian’s current frustration and has begun exploring alternative approaches to secure his signature.

While Real Madrid remain firm in their stance that Endrick is not for sale, PSG have floated the idea of a swap deal to tempt the Spanish giants.

They are reportedly willing to include a first-team player in exchange, but have ruled out offering key midfielders Vitinha and Joao Neves.

Deal unlikely to go through

The name most likely to be discussed in such a deal is Fabian Ruiz, a player previously admired by former manager Carlo Ancelotti and someone who could fit Alonso’s tactical plans.

However, sources at Real Madrid have made it clear that the club has no intention of parting with Endrick, especially in a trade that offers no immediate sporting advantage.

Real Madrid remain committed to their long-term plan for the Brazilian, believing his adaptation will take time.

For now, PSG’s proposal seems more like an ambitious idea than a realistic possibility. But with Enrique’s admiration for Endrick well-known, the French side could return with a more aggressive approach in the future.
