Atletico Madrid’s Nahuel Molina has piqued the interest of Premier League clubs Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Manchester City, as per reports from Ok Fichajes. The trio is eyeing a potential move for the defender at the end of the season.
Molina, contracted with Atletico Madrid until summer 2027, is a key target for these Premier League clubs, but Atletico is keen on extending his contract till 2029. The player’s release clause is estimated to be approximately €90 million.
Known for his exceptional performance, Molina stood out in the last season, participating in 43 games across various competitions and making significant contributions with four goals.
The Argentine international is versatile, capable of playing both as a right back and a right winger.
Among the interested clubs, Arsenal and Aston Villa are particularly in need of bolstering their defense.
The Gunners heavily relied on Ben White as their right-back last season, and acquiring a specialized option like Molina would be a notable improvement. The Argentine talent can significantly contribute to their growth in the future.
Similarly, Molina could bring an upgrade to Aston Villa, potentially surpassing Matty Cash in terms of quality.
Manchester City, on the other hand, is in search of a long-term successor for Kyle Walker, and Molina emerges as a suitable candidate for the role.
The prospect of joining a prominent Premier League team may be enticing for the South American defender.
However, it remains to be seen if these clubs are willing to meet the premium cost and trigger his release clause to secure his services.
