Goodbye to Atlético: Molina joins Roma, back to Serie A for 4 years | OneFootball

Nahuel Molina is a new Roma player after his transfer from Atlético de Madrid was finalized, bringing to an end a run of four consecutive seasons with the Colchonero side. The 28-year-old defender for the Argentina National Team signed a contract that will keep him at the Italian club for the next four years.

The Serie A club officially announced the signing of the right-back through its official channels with the message “Benvenuto a Roma, Nahuel”, also showing a photo of the Córdoba native posing with the number 20 shirt he will wear. With this move, the former Boca Juniors player returns to Italy’s top flight, a league where he had already played before arriving in Madrid in 2022 from Udinese.

During his spell with the team managed by Diego Simeone, Molina made a total of 181 official appearances, contributing nine goals and 17 assists. In a farewell message posted on his personal social media accounts, the footballer expressed his gratitude to the coaching staff, his former teammates, and the Atlético supporters: “Today, after 4 years, it’s time for me to say goodbye to this great club. I’m grateful to have been part of this beautiful family.”

On the international stage, the defender has amassed 65 appearances wearing the Albiceleste shirt. His honors include the Copa América titles in 2021 and 2024, the 2022 Finalissima, and the 2022 Qatar World Cup. He was also part of the national squad that recently reached the final of the 2026 United States, Mexico, and Canada World Cup, where Argentina finished as runners-up after a 1-0 defeat to Spain.
