Valletta FC are set to complete their second major signing of the summer transfer window as they have agreed personal terms with Argentine defender Enzo Ruiz.
Last season, the veteran defender was on the books of Birkirkara FC but his contract expired at the end of the campaign and was not offered a new deal by the Stripes.
The 32-year-old was determined to continue his career in Malta and in the last few days he has agreed personal terms with Valletta FC and is expected to put pen to paper on a one-year contract.
For Valletta, the capture of Ruiz is the second major acquisition in the summer transfer window after the capital club have already signed Malta international midfielder Brandon Paiber.
In Ruiz, Valletta will be bringing in a quality defender that has enjoyed a lot of success in Maltese football since his arrival here in 2016.
In fact, his first club in Malta was Floriana with whom he won the league title in 2020.
Throughout his career, Ruiz has played with some prestigious clubs in his homeland, most notably Boca Juniors in season 2012-13.
Last season, Ruiz made 14 appearances with Birkirkara.
