Juventus withdraws from Ruggeri pursuit over Atlético Madrid's €25m asking price
Matteo Ruggeri, a fullback who recently completed a season with Atlético Madrid after leaving Atalanta, is attracting interest from multiple clubs this summer transfer window. Both AS Roma and Juventus have been monitoring the player, but Juventus appears to be stepping back from the race. According to reports, Juventus made enquiries about Ruggeri but deemed Atlético's €25 million valuation too high and is unlikely to pursue the deal further. This leaves Roma in a position to potentially advance negotiations, though details of any formal approach remain unclear. Ruggeri's performance at Atlético Madrid generated significant attention early in the transfer window. Atlético has also indicated they would prefer not to sell the fullback unless they secure a suitable replacement first. With Juventus seemingly withdrawing, Roma is now considering how to structure a formal offer. The Spanish club's €25 million asking price represents a significant investment, and Roma will need to weigh the expenditure against their broader summer recruitment strategy.
