Nahuel Molina has become one of the key names in this winter transfer market after a series of events involving FC Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid, and Inter Milan. The move by the Catalan club has triggered a chain reaction that could lead to a new departure from the red and white team.

The return of João Cancelo to FC Barcelona from Saudi football was crucial. The Portuguese full-back was a priority for Inter Milan, which was in urgent need of reinforcements after Denzel Dumfries' serious injury.

FC Barcelona takes the lead and changes the game

FC Barcelona acted swiftly to secure Cancelo's arrival. A strategic signing that strengthens the right-back position and brings the Portuguese back to a familiar setting. This move left no room for Inter Milan, which had been working for weeks on the deal to cover a significant absence in its defense.

Without Cancelo available, the Italian team was forced to explore alternatives in an increasingly inflated market.

Inter's Plan B also falls through

As reported by ElDesmarque, after losing Cancelo, Inter Milan shifted its focus to Marco Palestra. The young Atalanta full-back was a present and future investment. However, Atalanta's financial demands of around 40 million euros definitively halted the operation.

This situation led the Nerazzurri to seek a more affordable and proven option.

Nahuel Molina, the gaining strength Plan C

This is where Nahuel Molina comes in. According to Italian sources, Inter Milan has inquired with Atlético Madrid about the situation of the Argentine full-back. The world champion could leave for a figure close to 15 million euros, a sum within reach for the Italian club.

Moreover, Nahuel Molina is already familiar with Serie A, having performed at a high level during his time at Udinese.

Atlético Madrid evaluates moves

At Atlético Madrid, more departures are not ruled out. The club has already approved several operations and needs to adjust its squad and finances. The potential departure of Nahuel Molina would be the fourth exit in the winter market, following the loan of Carlos Martín and with Giacomo Raspadori very close to Roma.

Thiago Almada also has offers on the table, reinforcing the idea of a very active January at the Metropolitano.

Sporting fit and final decision

From a sporting perspective, Nahuel Molina fits the profile sought by Inter Milan. He is intense, reliable in defense, and offers offensive capabilities. At Atlético Madrid, his performance has been inconsistent, alternating between good moments and others with less prominence.

The final decision will depend on the needs of the red and white club and on the determination of Inter Milan in the negotiations. The market remains open, and the domino effect triggered by FC Barcelona could result in Nahuel Molina returning to Italy, while Atlético Madrid continues to reshape its squad in the heart of winter.
