Atletico Madrid has made a decisive decision to place the Italian full-back Matteo Ruggeri on the transfer market, after his modest performance with the Spanish team. Coach Diego Simeone has informed the management not to rely on the player for the next season, considering that he has failed to adapt to the team's requirements.

According to 'Fichajes', the Italian defender, who recently joined from Atalanta for 17 million euros, has been unable to grasp the defensive style imposed by Simeone, despite playing more than 1600 minutes this season. His declining performance and behavior off the field have increased doubts among fans about his abilities.

The same source indicated that Atletico Madrid's management is looking for a solution that preserves the player's dignity, focusing on finding a reliable alternative on the left side, which has been a clear weakness recently. Several clubs in the Italian league, most notably Roma, are monitoring Ruggeri's situation, and it seems that returning to Italy is the best solution to restore his lost confidence.

The report confirmed that Atletico Madrid will not let the player go for free but seeks to recover the majority of the club's investment, at a time when Simeone is striving to maintain a committed and united team, focusing on strengthening the defense before the new season kicks off.

Thus, Ruggeri's journey with Atletico Madrid ends after just a few months, as the Spanish management begins to reorganize the team's ranks and achieve the necessary balance to compete for upcoming titles.
