Matteo Ruggeri, the 24-year-old Italian left-back, could leave Atlético de Madrid this summer transfer window. Aston Villa has accelerated talks to sign him immediately, and the player is considering the English proposal, a deal that could be finalized in the next few hours if both parties reach an agreement.

Ruggeri's possible departure is also linked to Atlético's financial planning. Following the signings of Alejandro Grimaldo, Morten Hjulmand, and Kang-in Lee, the club needs to generate income to maintain flexibility in the final stages of the transfer window.

Matteo Ruggeri, awaiting the final decision

The interest from Aston Villa has intensified following discussions between the player's agents, Tullio Tinti and Manuel Montipó, and Atlético de Madrid's sporting director. The agents were at the club's training ground to address the left-back's situation before the first-team training session.

While negotiations unfold, Ruggeri has lost prominence in recent training sessions. In Diego Simeone's training sessions, he has not been part of the possible starting eleven, a circumstance coinciding with the progress of talks for a potential move to the Premier League.

The Italian international joined Atlético de Madrid from Atalanta with a contract until 2030 in a deal worth around 20 million euros including fixed and variable amounts. During his first season, he played 47 official matches and provided 7 assists, figures that have attracted interest from various European clubs.

Aston Villa searching for Lucas Digne's replacement

The Aston Villa's move has a clear motive. The team led by Unai Emery needs to reinforce the left-back position following Lucas Digne's departure, which requires a quick replacement. Ruggeri has become one of the top priorities for the sporting director to fill that gap.

Prior to Birmingham's interest, Juventus and Roma had also monitored the Italian defender's situation, but neither club presented a proposal as concrete as that of Aston Villa.

Atlético de Madrid awaiting the player's response

At Atlético de Madrid, they believe that the final decision now rests with the player himself. The club is open to considering a sale if the offer meets their financial expectations and allows them to free up resources for new signings during this transfer window.

The upcoming hours are crucial. If Matteo Ruggeri accepts the conditions proposed by Aston Villa, the English club can progress in the agreement with Atlético de Madrid and complete a deal that would pave the way for new developments in the red-and-white club's sporting planning before the market closes.
