According to Tuttomercato, an agreement has been finalized between Atalanta and Atletico Madrid for Matteo Ruggeri's transfer. It is reported that Atalanta and Atletico Madrid have consented to a permanent transfer of Matteo Ruggeri. The player has reportedly agreed to the terms of the transfer, although the contract remains unsigned because the parties are still negotiating the contract figures. It is anticipated that the contract will be completed between Monday and Tuesday, during which time Ruggeri is expected to travel to Madrid for a medical examination and to finalize the deal. Atalanta is set to receive 18 million euros for the transfer, along with an additional 2 million in bonuses, fulfilling the 20 million euros initially requested. The official announcement might be made after July 1st, coinciding with the start of the new fiscal year.

Matteo Ruggeri is set to leave Atalanta to join Atletico Madrid. According to Sky Sport, the operation is in its final stages, with the Italian winger moving to the Colchoneros for a fee close to 20 million euros. The deal is expected to be finalized within the next 48 hours, and the player is on the verge of agreeing with the team coached by Diego Pablo Simeone.

Atlético is contemplating the acquisition of Matteo Ruggeri, a 22-year-old left wing-back from Atalanta. Ruggeri has recently showcased his skills for Italy in the U21 European Championship, where they reached the semi-finals, and has been an important player for Atalanta under the guidance of coach Gian Piero Gasperini. Atlético views Ruggeri as a younger alternative compared to other prospects such as Robertson from Liverpool and Digne from Aston Villa, both of whom are 31 years old. Ruggeri's versatility in playing various positions and his height of 1.87 meters, which would enhance Atlético's aerial strength, are considered beneficial. Although he is contracted with Atalanta until 2028, Ruggeri is reportedly open to a move to Atlético. Initially, the club evaluated options from the Premier League, including Theo Hernández, before deciding to focus on Ruggeri in their efforts to rejuvenate their squad, which is known for being one of the oldest among Europe's top clubs. Ruggeri's capability to play as a left-back, wing-back, and even as a left-sided central defender increases his attractiveness to Atlético.
