Overview
- Ruggeri's agent, Tullio Tinti, publicly stated the 24-year-old will remain at Atlético and is not available for transfer this window.
- Multiple outlets report Atlético have turned down enquiries from Liverpool, Tottenham and several Serie A clubs and that coach Diego Simeone wants to keep the player.
- Julio Díaz's move to Sevilla has reduced competition for minutes on the left, strengthening Ruggeri's role as a rotational option behind new first-choice Álex Grimaldo.
- Ruggeri earned market interest after a strong 2025–26 campaign with about 47 appearances and seven assists and he is under contract with Atlético until 2030.
- Because Ruggeri is tied to a long contract and Atlético are holding firm, interested clubs are likely to wait for a future window or prepare to pay a premium to change the club's stance.
