According to Mundo Deportivo, Italian clubs are interested in Atletico Madrid's Ruggeri, and the club has received several offers for the player from Italy.

It is not certain that Matteo Ruggeri will remain at Atletico Madrid. The management of the Spanish club intends to sign Cucurella as a priority target for Ruggeri's position, which would lead to Ruggeri being replaced and losing his starting spot. The management wants to complete a major signing for that position irrespective of whether the deal for Cucurella is finalized. According to Marca, Ruggeri's future would still be uncertain if the deal for Cucurella does not proceed, as Atletico Madrid has the intention of completing an exceptional signing for that role. Several clubs in Italy hold a high opinion of Ruggeri. A sale of the player would enable Atletico Madrid to recover more than the 17 million euros spent on his acquisition, as his current value is 28 million euros.

Matteo Ruggeri, a 23-year-old Italian left-back, might return to Serie A after one year at Atletico Madrid. There have already been initial contacts with some Serie A clubs. The possibility of Ruggeri returning to work with Gasperini, who is currently at Roma, has been suggested, but Roma's current priorities are reportedly focused on other areas. The potential transfer is linked to Atletico Madrid's interest in Marc Cucurella from Chelsea, which could facilitate Ruggeri's departure. Ruggeri has been capped 16 times for Italy's U21 team and has a contract with the Spanish club until 2030. His current market value is €28.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
