Aston Villa agree a transfer deal worth €26.5 million with Atletico Madrid for left-back Matteo Ruggeri. Multiple reports say the agreement includes a base fee of €25 million plus €1.5 million in performance-related add-ons.
The outlets also report that Ruggeri has reached agreement on personal terms and is expected to travel to complete the final steps of the move. Both accounts frame the transfer as close to completion, citing Fabrizio Romano for the deal framework and indicating the player’s arrangements are already in place.
While the sources align on the fee structure and the fact that personal terms are agreed, they emphasize slightly different stages of the process: one focuses on the club-to-club agreement, while the other highlights the completion of personal terms and the player’s next travel arrangements. No other clubs or alternative destinations are reported in the provided accounts.
