Roma and Napoli share interest in Atletico’s Molina | OneFootball

Roma appears intent on investing in a right-back, without moving Wesley from the left flank, an area where he has made an impact this season.

The Giallorossi have their eyes on Fiorentina’s Dodo and Atlético Madrid’s Molina.

Napoli, however, are also interested in both players: a transfer duel between two central-southern clubs aiming to compete for the top spot in Serie A.

Manna has made moves to please Allegri and has gathered information about Molina, a player the Tuscan coach already wanted at Juventus.

As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, during their exploratory chat, the Azzurri sporting director discovered that Roma have also recently made moves for the Argentine winger.

The same thing happened a few weeks earlier with Dodo, one of the first names Gasperini mentioned. Molina’s contract with Atlético Madrid expires and he’s eager for a change of scenery.

The 1998-born player would gladly return to Italy, where he spent two seasons with Udinese.

Napoli could play the Olivera card, which Simeone favors, but both players are busy with the World Cup, so a possible swap deal will be discussed after the World Cup.

Roma therefore hopes to use this time to formulate the right offer to convince Atlético Madrid to sell Molina.

As for Dodo, Fiorentina value him between €15 and €17 million, but Trigoria is convinced they can lower the price by leveraging his expiring contract.
