Atletico complete Molina signing from Udinese
July 29, 2022
Atletico Madrid have completed the signing of Nahuel Molina from Udinese for an undisclosed fee.
The Argentina right-back has signed a five-year-deal at the Wanda Metropolitano, where his compatriot Diego Simeone is the long-serving head coach.
Molina played 68 games for Udinese across two seasons, scoring 10 goals and recording seven assists for Le Zebrette.
The 24-year-old has also established himself with his national side, including playing five times for Argentina as they went on to win the 2021 Copa America.
Atletico have been short at right-back since selling Kieran Trippier to Newcastle United in January, while Sime Vrsaljko left the club for Olympiacos after the expiry of his contract at the end of the season.
