Agent confirms Matteo Ruggeri will remain with Atlético de Madrid

Summary

Matteo Ruggeri's agent, Tullio Tinti, announced that the 24-year-old left-back will stay at Atlético de Madrid despite interest from Roma and Fiorentina. Reports had suggested that Atlético's management was considering selling Ruggeri to generate funds for new players. Tinti emphasized Ruggeri's strong performance last season, particularly during Atlético's Champions League quarterfinals. The departure of fellow left-back Julio Díaz to Sevilla has cleared a path for Ruggeri to maintain a role in the squad. Tinti's statement suggests Ruggeri's future is secured for now, though questions remain regarding his development as a backup player.
