Aston Villa and Atlético Madrid have reportedly reached an agreement for the transfer of left-back Matteo Ruggeri to the English club, according to Spanish outlet “Marca.” The deal is valued at €18 million, plus an additional €6 million in add-ons.
Consequently, the Italian defender will not be joining the “Rojiblancos” on their pre-season tour of South Korea. According to Nicolo Schira, the Birmingham-based club has offered the 24-year-old a five-year contract with a significant salary increase compared to his current earnings. However, Ruggeri has yet to give his final approval for the move. Should Aston Villa successfully secure his signature, it would likely signal an end to their pursuit of Pervis Estupiñán from Milan.
Atlético acquired Ruggeri last summer, paying Atalanta €17 million for his services. To date, he has made 47 appearances for the Madrid side, registering 7 assists.
