Atlético have kept the Ruggeri deal under wraps, taking a look at both Robertson — who had already agreed to a transfer to Spain — and Lucas Digne of Aston Villa in recent weeks. But after further consideration, they have decided to move forward with signing Ruggeri.
Atlético have also agreed a deal for Real Betis‘ Johnny Cardoso, and are in talks with Villareal for midifielder Álex Baena as Diego Simeone looks to strengthen his squad to challenge for the LaLiga title next season.
