Nahuel Molina, a 27-year-old Argentinian right-back, will leave Atlético de Madrid to become the new player for Roma. The agreement between both clubs is closed for a sum of 18 million euros, while the player has already reached an understanding to sign a long-term contract with the Italian team. The deal, reported by Fabrizio Romano, is only pending the final formalities.  

Nahuel Molina seals his exit from Atlético de Madrid

Nahuel Molina's departure had been under consideration by Atlético de Madrid for weeks. The red-and-white club was looking to generate income in this market and had opened the door to a transfer if a proposal satisfying all parties came in. Roma's offer, close to 18 million euros including fixed and variable amounts, ultimately unlocked the deal.  

The Argentine international has also approved the change of destination. According to information from Fabrizio Romano, there was a verbal agreement on personal terms even before the final understanding between the clubs was reached, hastening the negotiation's conclusion.  

The departure of the full-back also aligns with Atlético de Madrid's sports planning, as they believe the position is covered with alternatives like Marcos Llorente and Marc Pubill, while maintaining financial flexibility for other signings in the final stretch of the market.

Roma welcomes back a familiar profile to Serie A

Nahuel Molina's return to Italian football marks the comeback of a player who had already delivered a good performance at Udinese before joining Atlético de Madrid in 2022. That experience in Serie A weighed in Roma's decision, as they aimed to reinforce the right-back position with a player accustomed to the league.

During his time at the Madrid club, Molina played 181 official matches and scored 9 goals, although he saw a reduction in playing time in the last season and was only a starter in 13 LaLiga matches. This decrease in minutes facilitated swift progress in the talks between the parties.  

The Italian club had been exploring various options for the right flank for weeks, but ultimately opted for the Argentine international due to his experience and the operation's lower cost compared to other targets in the sports management's plans.

Fabrizio Romano reported the definitive agreement

The confirmation of the agreement came through Fabrizio Romano, who disclosed that the deal between Roma and Atlético de Madrid was completely settled, and the player had been given authorization to complete the final steps of the operation.  

Unless an unexpected turn of events occurs, Nahuel Molina will be presented in the following days as the new player of Roma, once he passes the medical examination and signs his long-term contract. With this, Atlético de Madrid will conclude one of the sales planned for this market, while the Italian team adds an international experienced full-back knowledgeable about Serie A.
