Matteo ruggeri

New Atletico Madrid: New Atletico Madrid signing Matteo Ruggeri says he didn't think twice when the club came calling for him to play in La Liga.

The 22-year-old full back joined Atletico a week ago from Atalanta for a fee in the region of 17 million euros (about 20 million U.S. dollars), with a five-year contract until the end of June 2030.

"When my agents told me that Atletico was interested, I had no doubts. I said 'yes' straight away. It's too big an opportunity; I couldn't let it slip away. I'm really pleased to be here," the Italian said on to club website, as quoted by Xinhua.
