Liverpool are reportedly eyeing a move for one of Alexis Mac Allister’s teammates from the Argentina squad. With the asking price now revealed, the club is looking to strengthen the squad.
Liverpool are reportedly eyeing a move for Nahuel Molina, a 27-year-old right-back currently playing for Atletico Madrid.
Molina has established himself as a key figure in both La Liga and the Argentina national team. He combines defensive solidity with attacking ability, making him a versatile asset on the right flank.
In the 2024–25 La Liga season, Molina made 30 appearances, providing 3 assists. He also featured in 8 UEFA Champions League matches, contributing 1 goal.
His consistent performances have solidified his reputation as one of Europe’s top right-backs.
As per reports (via CaughtOffside), Liverpool aren’t the only club interested in Molina. Newcastle United and top Italian clubs have also shown interest in the Argentine international, highlighting his rising profile in the transfer market.

Why Molina is in demand and how he could strengthen Liverpool?
The Atletico Madrid defender has been a consistent performer for both club and country. His ability to combine defensive awareness with forward runs and quality deliveries makes him a valuable asset in modern systems.
Liverpool under the management of Arne Slot, are entering a new phase this summer (considering a quite window last summer) — and depth will be key.
With the team competing in the Premier League, domestic cups, and European competition, the number of matches across the season demands a deep and flexible squad.
While Jeremie Frimpong’s signing is reportedely almost done, according to Fabrizio Romano earlier this month, Molina brings a different profile.
Frimpong thrives as an aggressive, forward-thinking wing-back, while Molina offers more balance — solid in one-on-one duels, tactically aware, and experienced under pressure.
His addition would provide Slot with options to rotate, adapt tactically, and maintain performance levels throughout a packed schedule.
Molina’s presence could be crucial in managing workloads, reducing injury risks, and maintaining consistency across all competitions — something that has become increasingly vital for teams chasing silverware.
