AS Roma Secure the Signing of Nahuel Molina from Atletico Madrid
In a significant move for their upcoming season, AS Roma has officially confirmed the acquisition of Nahuel Molina, the 28-year-old right-back who played a crucial role in Argentina’s success at the 2022 World Cup. This announcement was made public by the Serie A club on Wednesday, highlighting their intent to bolster the defense ahead of the new campaign.
Molina arrives at Roma from the Spanish side Atletico Madrid for a transfer fee reported to be around 17 million euros, which is approximately 20 million dollars. This transfer not only signifies a major investment by the club but also demonstrates their commitment to enhancing their squad as they prepare for the challenges ahead.
The accomplished defender has earned 65 caps for the Argentine national team and was part of the squad that participated in last month’s World Cup final, where Argentina was defeated by Spain. His credentials further include winning two Copa America titles, one in 2021 and another in 2024. Throughout his career in Europe, which includes stints at Udinese and Atletico Madrid, Molina has made a total of 249 appearances, contributing to his teams by scoring 19 goals.
AS Roma is particularly enthusiastic about Molina’s potential inaugural match, which is set for August 24 against Fiorentina in Serie A. This match marks Roma’s return to Champions League football after a seven-year absence, adding further significance to Molina’s arrival and debut.
As the team gears up for a pivotal season, the addition of a seasoned player like Molina is expected to enhance their defensive strength and overall performance. The club’s supporters are eager to see how his experience and skills will integrate into their game strategy and aspirations for success this year.
