Ruiz has a transfer value of £34m - but PSG could hold out for more to keep their midfield trio together

Ruben Amorim's Man Utd side will be keen to bring new faces into their midfield this summer, with Christian Eriksen departing and Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte having lacklustre seasons.
Amorim's use of only two midfielders covering a lot of space requires a rare profile of all action midfielder, with Ruiz slotting into his plans for the centre of the pitch according to Foot Mercato.
Ruiz, 29, played a crucial role in PSG's Champions League winning run, most notably opening the scoring in the second leg of their clash with Arsenal.
The Spaniard makes up part of the French champions' midfield three alongside world-class Portuguese stars Joao Neves and Vitinha.

PSG are keen to keep the three together, forming the engine room of a side that won the Champions League, Ligue Un, the French Cup and the French Supercup in the 2024/25 season.
The trio have the chance to add further silverware to their collection this year as Les Parisiens continue their run into the knockout stages of the Club World Cup.
Considering the money at stake in that competition, Ruiz is unlikely to be going anywhere until PSG's participation is over, with the final scheduled for the 13th of July should they make it that far.
All three started in PSG's last match, a 4-0 demolition job over Lionel Messi's Inter Miami, with Ruiz assisting Neves for their second goal.

English fans may also remember Ruiz from his performances with Spain at Euro 2024, where he was named in the team of the tournament alongside his compatriot, Rodri.
Ruiz' current contract expires in 2027, and PSG may be forced to offer him a long-term contract if they want to combat interest from the North-West of England.
If the Red Devils do get the deal over the line, fans can expect Ruiz to be deployed behind Bruno Fernandes, who looks set to stay after snubbing a big money offer from Saudi Arabia last month.
