Juventus List Possibly Outbound Atletico Madrid Star
Juventus have had some contacts with Atletico Madrid centered around Nahuel Molina while they plot to revamp their right wing. The Argentinian could depart to recoup money after the Colchoneros spent big early in the summer, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs. The former Udinese star has a €25/30M valuation. It might be a tad high for the Bianconeri. They'll try to concoct a loan with an option or an obligation to buy. They often do so to dilute the disbursement. It remains to be seen whether they'll find fertile ground there. The counterparty could be interested in a few makeweights, Dusan Vlahovic, Nicolas Gonzalez, and Weston McKennie, if they wanted to broker a swap. In addition to Juventus, Molina also has suitors in England and the Saudi Pro League. He joined in a €20M move two years ago. He has totaled 7 goals and 13 assists in 135 matches in Spain, while he has hit the net 10 times. Instead, the 27-year-old has dished out 10 helpers in 68 Serie A games. He has 52 caps with Argentina and was part of the World Cup-winning squad. In the same role, Timothy Weah has reached an agreement with Olympique Marseille, but the two teams aren't that close yet. Sporting CP continues to track Alberto Costa, but the Old Lady demands a respectable figure. Porto have joined the race, offering a trade involving Joao Mario, Fabrizio Romano reports (via SOSFanta). Our Take on Juventus Eyeing Molina Aside from the left side of the defense, where they at least have options, this is the only role where they really need a new starter. This is the right caliber of player they should target and sign.

Juventus enter talks for Atletico Madrid full-back Nahuel Molina
Juventus have initiated talks with Atletico Madrid for the potential signing of full-back Nahuel Molina, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport. With Newcastle United pressing for Nicolo Savona, Juventus have prioritised strengthening the right-back position this summer. Molina has emerged as a top target for the Old Lady, and the Argentine could be on his way out of Wanda Metropolitano. The 2022 World Cup winner has endured a fluctuating spell at Atletico, losing his starting spot to Marcos Llorente last season. Los Rojiblancos are open to offloading the former Udinese star to balance the books, having made a flurry of new signings this summer. Moreover, they need to generate funds for top defensive target Renato Viega. Chelsea have turned down Atlético's offer worth €35 million for the Portuguese star. The Spanish giants value Molina at €25-30 million, but Juve deem the price higher. Instead, the Bianconeri are exploring a loan move with an obligation to buy, with negotiations set to continue between the two clubs. Despite interest from Saudi Arabia, Juventus can be an appealing destination for Molina due to his experience in Serie A and the opportunity to play in the Champions League next season. The 27-year-old can adapt between the full-back and wing-back roles, meaning he will be a perfect fit for Igor Tudor's system. Juve have also been offered a chance to sign Porto right-back Joao Mario in a swap deal involving Alberto Costa during the negotiations with the Portuguese giants. Canadian striker Jonatha David has been the only signing for Juve this summer, with more reinforcements expected to follow. They are working on a deal to sign Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho, and Sporting midfielder Morten Hjulmand is also on the wishlist.

Juventus open talks with La Liga giants for 27-year-old defender
Atletico Madrid's busy summer continues. While much of the attention has been taken up by a series of widely praised signings, namely Johnny Cardoso, Alex Baena and Matteo Ruggeri, Los Colchoneros will also have one eye on the exit door, as they seek to balance their squad. One player who seems on the threshold is Nahuel Molina. The World Cup-winner arrived as a big-money signing from Udinese three years ago, with Atletico spending €20m to finally solve their right-back issues after the exit of Kieran Trippier. However as time as gone on, Marcos Llorente has increasingly been installed as the go-to right-back. Juventus talks with Atletico Madrid It has been established that both player and club are open to a move, with Atletico also needing to free up a non-European spot that Molina also occupies following the arrival of Thiago Almada. GdS (via Diario AS) explain that Juventus have opened talks with Atletico for Molina, who has two years left on his deal. Image via EFE / Mariscal They say Atletico are asking for €25-30m, but the Bianconeri will try to bring that figure down. That may even include offering players, or player loans, with Dusan Vlahovic, Weston McKennie or Nico Gonzalez. Moving parts for Atletico Madrid However Molina's exit could be slowed by Atletico if they do not feel the offer is sufficient. It appears they may miss out on Jesus Areso, who in theory would have competed with Llorente for the starting spot. It is not yet clear whether that could affect Atletico's willingness to sell. Alternative options for Molina Meanwhile Juventus are unlikely to be the only side interested, with Villarreal having already made it clear they want Molina on a loan deal. No doubt depending on what money they can make though, Atletico would prefer a sale, given he would have to be offered a new deal that would take him into his thirties after this summer in all likelihood.

Nahuel Molina set for a summer exit
Nahuel Molina could leave Atlético de Madrid this summer. According to a report by the newspaper AS, the Argentine full-back has lost prominence in Simeone's scheme, being overtaken by Marcos Llorente in the battle for the right-back position. Although he has a contract until 2027, the club would be willing to transfer him if an offer of over 30 million euros arrives, which is why they are pushing for the signing of Areso. Atlético values his departure not only for sporting reasons, but also to free up a non-EU player spot, which would facilitate the registration of new reinforcements, such as Thiago Almada. 📸 Florencia Tan Jun - 2025 Getty Images Teams from Serie A and the Premier League have already shown interest in the World Cup winner, who arrived from Udinese in 2022, although Villarreal has also asked about the World Cup winner.
