Matteo Ruggeri

In August 2026, reports on the transfer to Aston Villa cited agreed fees ranging from €20 million to €28 million, with the most common figure being €25 million; an initial demand of €38 million was also mentioned. In June and July 2026, Atletico Madrid's asking price was reportedly between €25 million and €30 million, with a Transfermarkt valuation also at €28 million. During that time, Roma was reportedly hoping to negotiate a deal for €20-22 million. The player's transfer from Atalanta to Atletico Madrid in July 2025 was completed for a reported fee of €17-18 million plus bonuses.

Our valuation is driven by the multiple, consistent reports in August 2026 of an imminent transfer for Matteo Ruggeri to Aston Villa. The most credible sources indicate an agreement in the €25-28 million range. This represents a significant increase from the reported €17-20 million fee paid by Atletico Madrid a year prior, reflecting his strong performances in La Liga.
