Roma monitoring full-back Matteo Ruggeri
Roma are monitoring left-back Matteo Ruggeri as a transfer target. The Giallorossi are seeking defensive reinforcements ahead of a congested fixture schedule. Agents Manuel Montipò and Tullio Tinti confirmed the player is being tracked in Italy and abroad.
Montipò and Tinti spoke to Sky Sport about Ruggeri’s situation. They stated Atlético Madrid is satisfied with his current status but acknowledged football’s unpredictability. The agents avoided forecasting immediate moves, emphasizing fluidity in negotiations.
Juventus is also reportedly monitoring Ruggeri as a potential transfer option. The Bianconeri are evaluating squad needs across multiple competitions. Their involvement adds a second major Italian club to the race.
When pressed on Roma’s interest, the agents cited “another team” beyond the known suitors. This suggests the pursuit remains highly competitive. The full-back’s availability has triggered a multi-club scouting effort.
Ruggeri’s representatives did not disclose contract status or timelines. They reiterated that Atlético Madrid wishes to retain him for now. The agents’ remarks leave all options open without committing to a timeline.
