Overview
- Atletico Madrid and Roma have reached agreement on Molina’s move with reported fee terms around €13m plus about €4m in add-ons.
- Molina delayed completing formalities after Argentina’s World Cup run and a brief holiday in Ibiza before preparing to travel to Italy for medical checks and to sign his contract.
- Roma manager Gian Piero Gasperini said the club expects to see Molina soon and that he should be ready to start training with the squad after the paperwork is finished.
- Molina is securing a Spanish passport so he will not occupy a non‑EU slot on Roma’s roster, which affects how the club can register other foreign players.
- The transfer returns Molina to Serie A after his spell at Udinese and immediately bolsters Roma’s options at full‑back as they finalise their pre‑season squad.
