El Nacional further reported that Ruiz is not the only PSG player that Atletico Madrid are interested in. Colchoneros are also keen on signing PSG's Leandro Paredes, who spent the 2022-23 season away on loan at Juventus.
Luis Enrique was on a hiatus from coaching since the conclusion of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. He stepped down after La Roja were eliminated from the round of 16 of the tournament in Qatar.
