What happened: The 22-year-old midfielder is set to arrive on an initial loan, according to Tom Bogert, who credited Jarm21 with the first report. Ruiz adds a defensive option in midfield.
Why it matters: The move would give Red Bull another midfield option for the final stretch of the MLS regular season. It follows Roald Mitchell's loan move to Viborg.
By the numbers: Ruiz has played nine MLS matches in 2026, totaling 254 minutes with no goals or assists.
What to watch: The loan still requires completion before Ruiz can join Red Bull.
