Matteo Ruggeri, born in Italy on 11 July 2002 (age 23), is a left-back now with Atletico Madrid, wearing squad number 3. His current market value is around £17m, according to Transfermarkt.
Ruggeri’s senior career was built at Atalanta, where he made 85 league appearances across four seasons without scoring. That spell remains the main body of his work: enough football to make him more than a prospect, without needing to pretend full-back goal returns tell the story.
He has since become a regular presence at Atletico Madrid. In 2025-26 he has made 26 La Liga appearances, with further involvement in the Copa del Rey, Supercopa and Champions League, taking him to 51 appearances for the club in all competitions without a goal.
Ruggeri’s career to date is straightforward: he established himself at Atalanta, moved on to Atletico Madrid, and remains involved in the first-team picture rather than sitting on the edge of it.
