Matteo Ruggeri close to Roma reunion with Gasperini

Matteo Ruggeri, the former Atalanta full‑back, is among the names linked with AS Roma ahead of the summer transfer window. La dello Sport Roma held exploratory talks with his entourage a few weeks ago in pursuit of defensive depth.

Ruggeri is an ex‑Atalanta full‑back being considered as one of Roma’s reinforcements for the coming season. The club sees him as a potential solution to their defensive needs.

Atletico Madrid are intent on securing Rodrigo Grimaldo as their next signing. Their interest could affect Ruggeri’s standing at the Spanish side.

If Atletico proceed with Grimaldo, Ruggeri could be pushed further to the margins of Diego Simeone’s squad. This scenario may accelerate his departure.

Roma have once again come forward and offered Ruggeri the chance to reunite with coach Gian Piero Gasperini. The proposal aligns with the club’s strategy to bolster the back line.

Ruggeri is said to be considering his options. His decision will shape his next career move.
