What happened
Roma have finalised the scheduling for Nahuel Molina's move, with the Argentine right-back set to undergo his medical and sign his contract on August 10. The transfer is being arranged with Atlético Madrid, where Molina spent the last three seasons after joining from Udinese. The deal represents a significant reinforcement for Roma's defence as they prepare for the new season under Gian Piero Gasperini, who took charge in the summer.
Chance analysis
Molina's arrival gives Roma a proven, experienced right-back capable of operating in both a back four and wing-back system — particularly relevant given Gasperini's tactical preference for aggressive full-backs. Losing him is a notable defensive blow for Atlético Madrid, who will need to find a replacement before the season starts. The deal indicates Roma's ambition to strengthen a defensive unit that conceded heavily last season.
Positive impact on Roma's defensive depth and right-back quality; negative impact on Atlético Madrid's defensive options.
Molina's confirmed arrival strengthens Roma's right flank and improves their defensive stability for the upcoming Serie A season.
