Juventus List Possibly Outbound Atletico Madrid Star | OneFootball

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.
