What happened. Agent Tullio Tinti confirmed Matteo Ruggeri will stay at Atlético Madrid, dismissing interest from Roma, Fiorentina and Nottingham Forest.

• Ruggeri signed from Atalanta last July for under €20 million.
• He provided seven assists in a 17-game stretch from late January to early April.
• Fellow left-back Julio Díaz agreed to join Sevilla, clearing Ruggeri's path.

“Ruggeri had delivered an 'extraordinary' season and both player and club intend to continue together.”
