Atletico Madrid’s Matteo Ruggeri has been linked with a move to Juventus this summer as the Bianconeri continue to improve their squad as much as possible.
The 24-year-old left back was developed at Atalanta and has been performing well for Atletico Madrid since moving to the club. His progress has attracted attention, which is why he is now being linked with a possible departure during this transfer window.
Juventus consider Ruggeri move
------------------------------
Juventus has been following Ruggeri since his time in Serie A, and the Bianconeri would like to add him to their squad. The player could also be interested in the opportunity, as a move to Turin would represent another important step in his career.
The Bianconeri are [expected to sell Juan Cabal this summer](https://talkjuve.com/2026/06/24/two-juventus-defenders-almost-certain-to-be-offloaded-this-summer/), and Ruggeri would be considered a strong replacement for him. His experience in Italian football and his recent performances make him an attractive option as Juventus look to strengthen their defensive options.
However, competition for his signature is increasing, and Juventus could face difficulties completing a deal. The club will need to act quickly if they want to secure the defender before other interested teams make their moves.
Premier League clubs challenge Juventus
---------------------------------------
[Tuttojuve](https://www.tuttojuve.com/calciomercato/ruggeri-juve-vuole-787041) reveals that some Premier League clubs are also in the race to sign Ruggeri, which complicates Juventus’ efforts to bring him to Turin. Those clubs could provide stronger financial offers for his signature when negotiations begin.
Juventus will try their best to complete the transfer, but the report insists that they are currently nowhere near being the favourites to sign the Italian defender. The competition from England could make the deal more challenging for the Bianconeri.
Ruggeri also has a long contract at Atletico Madrid, meaning that any club interested in signing him will likely need to pay a significant fee. Juventus may struggle to match those demands due to their current financial situation, making the transfer a difficult one to complete this summer.
