Abel Ruíz Transfer from Sporting Braga to Girona
Braga announced the transfer of Abel Ruiz to Girona.
Girona has announced the signing of Abel Ruiz, a 24-year-old Spanish forward from Sporting de Braga.
The Spanish forward leaves Braga and signs with Girona until June 30, 2029.
Abel Ruiz could become a player for Girona for the next season. He was previously approached by the Catalan club during their first stint in the top tier. He has not attended the first pre-season training session nor undergone the medical exams. Braga granted him special permission to skip while the transfer is finalized. Girona offered 9 million euros plus variables, which was rejected. The offer was lowered to 8.5 million euros, but variables remain a conflict point. Abel desires to join Girona as soon as possible, attracted by Míchel's style of play.
Abel Ruiz, 24 years old, originally from Barcelona's academy, currently at Sporting de Braga since summer 2020. Girona has already agreed with the player, and they are now finalizing the deal with the Portuguese club. Abel Ruiz has a contract with Braga until 2025. Girona is willing to pay 12 million euros and also offer a player on loan to Sporting.
Girona has reportedly made a substantial offer for Abel Ruiz. Braga has received a proposal of nine million euros from the Catalan club for the 24-year-old striker, who was trained in the academies of Valencia and FC Barcelona. These nine million would be accompanied by another sum of variable amounts for objectives, although the Portuguese club has already rejected this offer. However, there is a price if the Catalans want to fish the Valencian, 15 million euros, 7 million more than they paid for him during 2020. Abel's contract expires in June 2025, a substantial reason for Sporting de Braga to seriously consider whether to accept offers for the player or risk him leaving for free if he refuses to renew. This last season, the striker has scored six goals and provided two assists in 30 matches, playing a total of 2,000 minutes.
