Overview
- Roma reached an agreement in principle with Atlético Madrid on Wednesday to sign Argentina full‑back Nahuel Molina for a reported package of about €13m plus up to €4m in add‑ons, with some outlets describing the total as roughly €18m.
- Multiple reports say Molina is due to fly to Rome for medical tests within 24 hours and then join Roma's pre‑season training camp in Wales.
- The move followed stalled negotiations for Feyenoord's Givairo Read, where Feyenoord held a higher asking price and Roma were unwilling to meet the valuation.
- With Roma stepping away from the Read chase, Nottingham Forest and other clubs have been cited as renewed frontrunners for the 20‑year‑old, who has said he is open to offers but is not obliged to leave.
- Contract timing shaped both deals because Molina's contract runs to 2027, reducing Atlético's leverage, while Read's extension to 2029 strengthened Feyenoord's negotiating position and pushed Roma to prioritise an immediate, ready‑made option.
