PSG signs Spanish talent with Fabián Ruiz and Carlos Soler

Cristophe Galtier, winner of Ligue 1 with Lille in 2021, is now swimming in abundance as coach of Paris Saint-Germain.

Willing to shake off the label of defensive coach, the two months he has been at the Parisian club have given him the insight that he needs legs and talent in midfield to put together a balanced team.

His choices have been the Spanish midfielders Fabián Ruiz (26 years old) and Carlos Soler (25).

The Parisian club has already confirmed tonight the hiring of the Napoli midfielder and only the Valencia player remains to be made official.

The two ended their contract on June 30 and PSG has anticipated the auction of two very attractive values ​​that would have been unleashed from January 1 with many of the big European clubs involved.

For the Andalusian midfielder he will pay 23 million euros to Napoli and for the Valencian, 18 million plus another five in bonus, to Valencia.

With both, Galtier hires a good foot, but I also work for that balanced team that he intends to put together behind Mbappé, Messi and Neymar.

The French coach was captivated by Fabián's qualities in a Napoli-PSG Champions League game and since then he has followed the footballer very closely.

When he already knew that he would take over the technical direction of the Parisian team, he ordered his second-in-command to follow up more closely.

Galtier appreciates Fabián 's condition as a box-

footballer .

The contacts began in May and June and have crystallized two days after the market closes.

If Fabián had stayed at Napoli and was free to negotiate from January 1, Real Madrid was the main candidate to get his services without having to pay a transfer.

Barcelona was also in the fight, as was Manchester United.

The owner of Napoli, the famous producer Aurelio de Laurentiis, known for his toughness as a negotiator, has had no choice but to negotiate after all the refusals he had received from Fabián in his attempts to renew him.

International 15 times, Fabián was present at the last European Championship.

However, since then he has not been summoned by Luis Enrique despite the fact that he continued to perform at a good level at Napoli.

Denied that he had a personal confrontation with the coach, his absence is due to the fact that the Asturian coach was not convinced with the fulfillment of what he demands from the interiors.

The player is confident of having a chance of going to the World Cup if his first two months at PSG are good.

The signing of Carlos Soler is also close to materializing and would mean the meeting of two friends who shared a room in the concentrations of the U-21 team.

Needing as it is to balance its accounts, everything indicates that Valencia will accept the proposal of 18 million euros plus the five in bonus advanced by

and confirmed by this newspaper.

In Mestalla that shake was sensed in the last hours of the market.

Soler, one of the flag-bearers of the institution, would leave the club in which he was trained and was its second captain.

Like Fabián, he will sign for five seasons.

After the sale of Gonçalo Guedes to Wolverhampton, Valencia still needed to make an important transfer to repair their red numbers.

Soler was the main candidate to leave.

With the negotiations for his renewal frozen for a year, the president of the club, Layhoon Chan, suddenly, and coinciding with the arrival of PSG, offered the player this Tuesday morning to extend his contract for five seasons with three million net annual salary.

The offer arrives late, but generates doubt among the Valencian social mass regarding the behavior of the footballer.

Does Meriton push Soler out or is it the player who leaves rejecting a millionaire renewal?

The debate has already caught on in social networks.

In the player's intention it has always been that, if he left,

Valencia would be rewarded.

Most Meriton Holdings moves are open to different interpretations.

This one from Soler, too.
