The Roman club has its eye on Matteo Ruggeri.

The 2002-born player developed at Atalanta under Gasperini, a coach who allowed him to blossom and move to Atletico Madrid, coached by Simeone.

Roma has inquired about Matteo Ruggeri. The left-back played 109 games for Atalanta under Gian Piero Gasperini, scoring two goals and 10 assists. As La Gazzetta dello Sport reports, the 2002-born player would like to return to Italy, but convincing Atletico Madrid to sell him will require at least €25 million.

Before making such an investment in a currently non-priority area of ​​the pitch, Roma will need to make some sales. Among the players who could soon leave the capital is Ziolkowski, who is interested in Nottingham Forest.
