While searching for a new left-back, Madrid's "Atletico" club was actively linked with defenders from the "Premier" league - Andrew Robertson and Lucas Digne.

However, the situation changed within a few days. "Atletico" has completely moved closer to acquiring "Atalanta's" left-back Matteo Ruggeri.

The 22-year-old Italian played 30 matches in "Serie A" last season, of which he was in the starting eleven for 19 matches.

The value of the deal, including bonuses, will reach 19 million euros.
