Nahuel Molina is beginning a new era. After two seasons at Udinese, the Argentine makes the step up to La Liga. Atletico have confirmed his signing.
The defender has penned a deal until 2027. There are no official figures on the deal, but 'Mundo Deportivo' recently revealed that the agreement could be between 15 and 20 million euros.
Nahuel Molina is 23 years old and he is not short of experience, especially in Argentina. He began his career at Boca Juniors, from there he went to Defensa y Justicia before ending up at Rosario Central. Udinese had their eyes on him and that saw him move to Europe.
In these two seasons in Serie A, the full-back has made 68 appearances and started 51 of them, proof of how important he was for Udinese. Despite being a defender, Nahuel Molina has scored 10 goals and provided seven assists.
Simeone put pressure on the board to sign a right-back and now he has one. Simeone is waiting for the player to soon adapt to the style of play in La Liga and, especially, at Atletico. He has got the talent, he now just needs to show it on the pitch.
Nahuel Molina joins Axel Witsel and Samuel Lino as Atletico's new signings this summer. Despite the fact the signing has only been made official now, the full-back has already been training under Diego Simeone. He knows exactly what he will demand of him and promises to be at the level required.
