The arrival of Alejandro Grimaldo at Atlético had fueled rumors of departure: the Spaniard is expected to occupy the left lane, which could have pushed Ruggeri towards the exit. Ultimately, the club preferred to create a duel of internal competition rather than part with its player. For Liverpool, the interest is not new: the Reds have been following its development for two years and had already probed the summer following the 2024 Europa League final, without success. For its part, De Zerbi's Tottenham evaluated the file but came up against a refusal.
In the end, Atlética's decision is clear: Ruggeri will stay in Spain for the coming season and will continue to fight for a place on the left flank of the team. For the Italian and English contenders, it will be necessary to wait or turn to other avenues if a departure were to be considered at a later date.
This maintenance reinforces the idea that Simeone is counting on the versatility and impact of the young full-back after a year considered satisfactory. It remains to be seen how the competition with Grimaldo will evolve over time and whether Ruggeri will succeed in doing well within a competitive and ambitious squad.
