AS Roma and Atlético de Madrid on Wednesday announced Nahuel Molina's transfer following four seasons in the Spanish capital.
Molina on Monday touched down in Rome, where dozens of Giallorossi supporters greeted him upon his return to Italian football. Upon confirmation of his move, Molina published an Instagram post commemorating his four-year stint at Atlético, which featured peaks and valleys across 181 games in all competitions.
"Today, after four years, it's time for me to say goodbye to this great club," Molina wrote. "I'm grateful to have been part of this wonderful family. I want to thank all my teammates and the coaching staff for helping me grow across all these years, as well as everyone behind the scenes who has been there day to day, supporting me every step of the way. And finally, I want to thank all the Atlético fans, who are the heart of this club."
Molina reportedly has been offered a four-year contract worth €2.7 million per season to return to Serie A, where he starred for Udinese before Atlético signed him in 2022. Following crunch talks last week, Roma and Atleti reached a verbal agreement over a transfer between €17 million and €19 million with bonuses included.
Molina had been under contract to 2028 after Atlético exercised an extension clause in his contract last year. However, the Argentina right-back was deemed expendable because Atleti need to raise funds to finance the arrival of a center-back; the club is targeting Cristian Romero, Molina's national teammate, and the Tottenham Hotspur central defender has agreed personal terms ahead of his move to Madrid.
