Everton are yet to find a new right-back for David Moyes' project under The Friedkin Group.
Since last summer, it has been evident that the Scottish manager needs reinforcements on the right side of his defence.
Jake O'Brien has consistently played out of position due to a lack of personnel at the Toffees.
Nahuel Molina has been linked with a move to Hill Dickinson Stadium and TFG seem to have finally got their man, but at Roma.
The Argentina international is expected to join the Serie A club from Atletico Madrid.
With the 28-year-old World Cup winner on his way to Stadio Olimpico, the American owners now have an opportunity to fulfil their promise at the Merseyside outfit.
Why Nahuel Molina transfer finally opens doors for Everton move
With Molina on his way to Roma, the Italian club will now surely be looking to trim their squad.
The 22-year-old Brazil international was a key player for Gian Piero Gasperini last season, playing as a wing-back on either side.
Roma have Anass Salah-Eddine back at left-back after his loan spell at PSV Eindhoven and decent displays at the 2026 World Cup for Morocco.

With Fabrizio Romano revealing on 5 August that the Italian club are set to sign Molina for around £15million, Wesley's future may be one to keep an eye on.
TFG could certainly do the Blues a massive favour by sending the Brazilian right-back on loan to L3.
Friedkin Group could have alternative target up their sleeve
Whether Everton can finally sign Wesley will arguably all come down to whether Gasperini is willing to let him go.
If the former Flamengo defender continues to be an important figure for Roma, then TFG can surely gift Moyes a different right-back.
Devyne Rensch was on Everton's radar back in January 2025, but even the 23-year-old Netherlands international snubbed the Blues.
The American owners could now potentially have not one but two options to immediately strengthen the Merseyside outfit's defence, but it remains to be seen whether they will take up the opportunity.
