A verbal agreement has been reached between Aston Villa and Atlético de Madrid to finalize the transfer of Matteo Ruggeri, the 24-year-old left-back. This move activates the transfer market for Atlético de Madrid as they look to rebuild their defense.

The English club will pay a fixed fee of 25 million euros plus an additional 1.5 million euros in variables. The Italian player has agreed to the contract terms and is set to travel to England in the coming hours after the final document review.

The economic terms of Aston Villa's purchase

As confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, the Aston Villa board has agreed on a final figure of 25 million euros with an additional 1.5 million euros contingent on sports objectives. Birmingham's team plans the defender's medical review for this week before the formal signing of the contract.

Ruggeri has agreed to the financial terms offered by the British executives to join the Premier League. The transfer allows the English team to secure a specialist full-back, while the Madrid leadership recoups the investment made in 2025 and increases its budgetary margins.

Atlético de Madrid's response: the signing of Jorge Salinas

The departure of the Italian speeds up the defensive plan outlined by the technical secretariat of Atlético de Madrid, whose immediate goal is the signing of Jorge Salinas, a 19-year-old wing-back from Racing de Santander. The red-and-white directors envision the Cantabrian youth as a substitute in the rotation for Alejandro Grimaldo, also acquired in this summer transfer window.

Salinas had formal offers from the Premier League but chose to prioritize the offer from the Madrid team to continue his career in Spain. Atlético de Madrid considers including loaned players in the negotiation with Racing de Santander to reduce the amount of the young full-back's release clause.

The lawyers of Aston Villa and the colchonero team will review the formal documentation this Wednesday, August 12, 2026. After passing the medical examinations in Birmingham, Aston Villa will announce the signing of Matteo Ruggeri, allowing the Spanish team to simultaneously activate the recruitment of Jorge Salinas.
