Overview
- Vice president Francisco Suinaga and president Arturo Pérez Arredondo publicly confirmed Ruiz will stay at Toluca this window and is not for sale now.
- Suinaga said a proposal from Palmeiras met Toluca’s price but Ruiz turned it down, viewing a switch to Brazil as a step back for his career.
- FC Copenhagen showed interest yet slowed talks after encountering Toluca’s valuation, despite having Rodrigo Huescas and a Champions League berth.
- Toluca’s asking price has been reported around $8–12 million, compared with a Transfermarkt valuation near €7.5 million, and Ruiz is under contract through June 2027.
- Officials and local reports indicate the expectation is a move to Europe after the 2026 World Cup, following earlier interest that included a bid from Ipswich Town.
