Aston Villa are set to sign Atletico Madrid left-back Matteo Ruggeri, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Villains have agreed a deal worth €25 million plus another €1.5m in bonuses. He will travel for medicals this week if the papers were submitted in recent hours.
Villa needed a new left-back following the departure of Lucas Digne this summer, and Ruggeri emerged as a top target.
Ruggeri caught the eye in 26 La Liga appearances last term, creating five big chances, winning 59 percent of his aerial and 38% of his ground duels while helping to keep five clean sheets.
Aston Villa are preparing for another competitive season on all fronts that starts with a UEFA Super Cup showdown with Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain today.
