Roma Focus on Nahuel Molina, First €16m Offer to Atletico Madrid

August 5, 2026Carlos Mendoza1 мин

According to growing reports, AS Roma has shifted its attention to Atletico Madrid and Argentina international Nahuel Molina, presenting an initial offer of €13 million with an additional €3 million in add-ons.

Following the departure of Zeki Çelik, Roma's primary target for the right-back position was Givairo Rensch of Feyenoord. However, after their highest bid of €25 million plus €3 million in bonuses and a 10% sell-on clause was rejected, the club appears unwilling to increase their offer further.

Molina Becomes Next Priority for Roma

Instead, Sportitalia indicates that Molina is now next on Roma's list, and he is considered considerably more attainable than Ivan Fresneda of Sporting CP.

The newspaper Il Tempo reports that an opening proposal has been submitted to Atletico Madrid, valued at €13 million plus €3 million in potential add-ons.

This transfer is deemed highly feasible, as the 28-year-old defender is entering the final season of his contract with Atletico Madrid, whom he joined in 2022. Furthermore, Molina is already familiar with Serie A, having played for Udinese between 2020 and 2022 before his €20 million move to La Liga.

Molina boasts 65 senior caps for Argentina and was a regular participant in the recent World Cup, where his team secured second place.

It is worth noting that Gian Piero Gasperini and new Roma director Tony D'Amico had previously pursued Molina during their time together at Atalanta.
