AdminMatteo Ruggeri will wear the No.13 shirt for Aston Villa after completing his move to the club ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
The Italian defender previously wore the No.3 shirt during his time at Atlético Madrid, while he was handed the No.22 during his spell with Atalanta.
However, Ruggeri will now take on a new squad number as he begins the next chapter of his career in England.
The 23-year-old is expected to play an important role for Unai Emery’s side as Villa prepare for another demanding season, with the club competing on both domestic and European fronts.
Ruggeri arrives with a growing reputation and will be hoping to quickly settle into Villa’s system as he competes for a regular starting place.
His versatility and experience in European football are viewed as valuable additions to Emery’s squad.
The No.13 shirt will now become Ruggeri’s number at Villa Park, with supporters set to see him in his new colours when the competitive campaign gets underway.
With Aston Villa aiming to challenge strongly in the Premier League while also making an impact in Europe, Ruggeri will be eager to make his mark and justify the faith placed in him by the club.
His new shirt number marks the beginning of what Villa supporters will hope becomes a successful spell in England.
