Overview
- Clubs announced the deal on Wednesday, with Roma presenting Molina after he completed medical and registration formalities in Rome.
- Reports say Molina signed a multi-year contract through June 2030 and the transfer fee is roughly €13 million plus up to €4 million in add-ons, while media outlets list his net salary near €2.5–2.7 million a season.
- Molina is a 28-year-old Argentina international and World Cup winner who spent four seasons at Atlético Madrid and joins Roma as an attack-minded wing-back who has struggled with defensive consistency.
- Roma remain in talks to add Porto midfielder Rodrigo Mora on a paid loan that could include a large buy obligation if conditions are met, and they continue to monitor Inter’s Luis Henrique with that move not close to completion.
- Atlético sold Molina as part of wider transfer planning to free funds for defensive targets and does not intend to sign a direct replacement, instead planning to cover the right-back role internally.
