Press sources revealed that Barcelona is seriously seeking to restore one of the most prominent talents who graduated from the “La Masia” Academy, where he previously played with the Catalan club between 2009 and 2015.
Barcelona came close to acquiring the services of the young Frenchman, Qais Ruiz, a player for Paris Saint-Germain, after he decided not to renew his contract in the Princes’ Garden.
Qais Ruiz left Barcelona in 2015, after the Catalan club was prevented from contracting with minor players, to move to Paris Saint-Germain.
According to the “Sky Sport” network, the return of Qais Ruiz to Barcelona is a secret that is not hidden from anyone, as the negotiations are going very well, and the player’s return to the Catalan club can be confirmed in the coming days.
Why did Qais Ruiz leave Paris Saint-Germain?
The move of Qais Ruiz, the original Moroccan, to the Parisian club also sparked controversy, as “Football Lakes” documents revealed that the club, Paris Saint-Germain, carried out an illegal procedure to contract with the player, by offering a job to his father, Radwan, but this did not lead to any action. Legal on the French club.
After years of brilliance in the age groups of Paris Saint-Germain, Qais Ruiz made his first match with the Parisian club in September 2020, but witnessed his loss with a goal without a response against Lens.
During a long period of the 2020-2021 season, Qais Ruiz trained with the first team of Paris Saint-Germain, and participated in seven matches under the leadership of German Thomas Tuchel, the former coach.
However, in February 2021, a month after the arrival of Argentine Mauricio Pochettino to coach the team, he decided to return Qais Ruiz to the U19 team.
And last May, with the fact that the player’s contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires at the end of his contract, he decided not to renew with the Parisian club.
Qais Ruiz is the latest axes of the conflict between Barcelona and Paris
The Moroccan-born player has become the latest young player to move between Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain in recent years, as the conflict between the two clubs over young stars has turned out to be fierce.
In 2019, Paris Saint-Germain managed to kidnap Dutchman Xavi Simmons, who was seen in Barcelona as one of the players who would lead the midfield in the Catalan club throughout his years in La Masia.
