After a bright start to his Atletico Madrid, Nahuel Molina has struggled for form over the last 15 months. However, he has been back to his best in recent weeks, having made telling contributions against Las Palmas and Paris Saint-Germain.
One area that Atletico Madrid appear willing to address this summer is right-back. Nahuel Molina had a very disappointing 2023-24 campaign, although he is still projected to be a starter next season.
Atletico Madrid looked as if they had found the answer to Kieran Trippier’s departure on the right flank midway through last season, as Nahuel Molina started to fly down the wing.
Atletico Madrid look set to overhaul their defence in the summer, with Diego Simeone not convinced by his current options. One player that has underwhelmed this season is Nahuel Molina, who could be sold during the upcoming transfer window if an acceptable offer comes in.
Atletico Madrid are expected to have a very busy summer transfer window, and their main course of business will be to secure defensive reinforcements. Two new centre-backs are wanted, while a right-back is also being chased, with Nahuel Molina no longer considered as indispensable due to a number of poor performances this season.
Atletico Madrid are looking to reshape their defence this summer, and the position of Nahuel Molina could be under threat, with Diego Simeone often trusting others ahead of the ex-Udinese man.
It’s been a difficult season for Atletico Madrid, who have fallen short in all competitions so far – aside from the Champions League. They have definitely underperformed, with their defence having been especially poor.
Atletico Madrid defender Nahuel Molina has explained that his shaky start to life in Madrid was down to a period of adaptation rather than nerves. Molina arrived in Madrid from Udinese for €20m, an investment for which many Atletico fans wanted to see their right flank locked down long-term.
Juventus has reignited its interest in Atletico de Madrid defender Nahuel Molina as they continue to strengthen their squad. The Bianconeri have been active in the transfer market over the last few months, particularly focusing on bolstering their defence.
Atletico Madrid have a number of pressing contractual matters to sort out after extending manager Diego Simeone until 2027, but top of the list was seemingly Nahuel Molina.
Fabrizio Romano has reported that Nahuel Molina is set to sign a new long term deal at Atletico Madrid until June 2028. Romano also mentioned this new contract will include a release clause, worth around €70m.
