“It’s a painful defeat. We were not up to standard today,” said Real Madrid coach Xavi Alonso. The Madrid manager’s painful admission came after Paris Saint-Germain routed the Spanish powerhouse 4-0 in the Club World Cup semifinals. One of the architects of their defeat was PSG’s 29-year-old midfielder Fabián Ruiz. The Spanish soccer star was the one who opened the scoring against his nation’s team in the sixth minute.
His teammate would double their lead in the 9th minute, before Ruiz shut the door with his second goal of the day. As if that wasn’t enough, Gonçalo Ramos added insult to injury by scoring PSG’s 4th goal in the 87th minute. “We’re truly happy to be in another final,” Ruiz told reporters after the match. Now, as the soccer stars prepare to face Chelsea in the final, here’s a closer look at the evolution of the midfielder’s value.

What is Fabián Ruiz’s net worth in 2025?
Born in Los Palacios y Villafranca, Seville, Spain, Ruiz’s mother, Chari Peña, sparked her son’s curiosity for soccer. The midfielder’s mother exposing him to football turned out to be a great decision because Ruiz, as we know now, is a natural. The result? Real Betis spotted the talented youngster, and he joined other players in their youth outfit at 8 and made his pro debut in 2014.
Since then, Fabián Ruiz has become a veteran of multiple clubs, transferring from Real Betis to Napoli before finding his way onto the Paris Saint-Germain roster. During this time, each contract signing, and especially the one with PSG in 2022, has significantly boosted the soccer star’s finances.

Based on Ruiz’s past contracts and wages, Ruiz’s current net worth is somewhere around the $10 to 12 million mark. However, that number may increase as PSG is paying the pro more than any of his previous clubs. Besides that, his frequent stints with the Spanish National Team have only added to the player’s brand and market value. Transfermarkt.com estimates his current market value at €40 million ($46.7 million).
What is Fabián Ruiz’s salary in 2025?
Talking about the Seville native’s salary, Paris Saint-Germain pays the midfielder a weekly base salary of €104,808 and an estimated bonus of €70,000, as per Capology’s latest estimates. That makes his annual base and bonus salaries €5,450,000 and €3,640,000, respectively, for a total annual salary of €9.09 million ($10.6 million). This was a significant jump from his Napoli days.

During his successful five-year stint with Napoli in Serie A from 2018 till signing with PSG in 2022, Fabián Ruiz earned a little more than half of what he earns now annually. Capology estimates that Ruiz earned somewhere between €3.2-2.9 million before signing his current contract with the French club. So many more years does he have left with them?

That being said, the soccer star’s current contract with PSG will expire on Jun 30, 2027. While they haven’t confirmed it yet, PSG Inside Actus on X claimed that Ruiz is set to extend his contract with the Paris club until 2029. Naturally, whether it’s an extension or another transfer, the midfielder will most likely get another serious hike. However, only time will tell what actually happens.
