Atlético Madrid demands €30m for Molina as Roma joins transfer race
Atlético Madrid has set a asking price of €30 million for Argentine defender Molina, who has emerged as a target for Roma as the club seeks a new right-back option. Head coach Gasperini is keen on the former Udinese player, who is also of interest to Inter, Juventus, and Napoli. Molina is contracted to Atlético until 2028, and club leadership under Simeone has indicated a strong desire to retain him, creating a significant obstacle to any potential move. Roma's interest in Molina comes as the club continues to evaluate defensive reinforcements on the right flank. Current right-back Celik is close to agreeing a contract renewal, but the club remains open to alternatives. The €30 million valuation represents a substantial investment, though Atlético's determination to keep Molina—in contrast to their more flexible stance on other defenders like Ruggeri—suggests negotiations could prove challenging. Roma will face competition from multiple Serie A rivals pursuing the same target.
