Nahuel Molina officially signs for Roma and his first statements are expected in the coming hours. The Argentine international, a natural right-back, leaves Atlético de Madrid after several seasons spent in the Spanish capital. The two clubs have finalised the deal, bringing an end to weeks of negotiations between Madrid and Rome.
A profile built for the highest level
Nahuel Molina stands out as a valuable asset in the transfer market. World Champion with Argentina in 2022, he possesses solid European experience forged in La Liga, one of the most physically and tactically demanding competitions on the continent. Within Atlético's rigorous defensive system, he developed a positional discipline rarely seen in an attack-minded full-back.
His ability to combine with wingers, while providing serious cover in his channel, addresses a specific need. Roma had been looking for several transfer windows for a right-back capable of sustainably filling a starting role, without relying on a transitional profile.
A targeted reconstruction for Roma
For the Roman club, this signing is part of a structured rebuilding logic. The Giallorossi defence has endured unstable seasons, and the right-back position has regularly posed problems of consistency. Molina provides an immediate and clearly identified solution.
At 26 years old, he is entering the full maturity of a modern full-back, with enough years ahead of him to fit into a multi-year project. Serie A, which he is discovering for the first time, represents a new challenge. But his appearances in the Champions League with Atlético and his consistent performances with the Selección testify to his ability to meet the demands of the very highest level. Rome offers him a new stage for expression: he will now need to deliver on his ambitions in Giallorosso colours.
