Only 1 starter! Argentina s main player becomes Atletico Madrid s substitute, Manchester City s two heroes are interested in buying in the winter window

This season, Molina completely lost her main position at Atletico Madrid. Since the start of the game, the Argentine main defender has only played five times, one of which has started, with a total of 144 minutes of playing time. Molina considers leaving Atletico Madrid for next year's World Cup, which has attracted the attention of Premier League teams. According to Spanish media Fichajes, both Manchester City and Manchester United are competing for the Argentine player, hoping to sign him in the winter transfer window.

Within Atletico Madrid, Marcos Llorente performed well on the right wing and started frequently. Molina was squeezed to the bench and her playing time in La Liga this season has been greatly reduced. Every weekend, he no longer appears in Simeone's starting plan, which makes him worry about his future. You know, he is the main defender of Argentina's World Cup qualifiers, and he made 16 appearances in the World Cup qualifiers, including 14 starts. For the sake of next year's World Cup, he is willing to accept new challenges.

Manchester City believes Molina can enhance their right-back rotation. Due to multi-line combat, they need a natural full-time defender to rotate. Meanwhile, Manchester United faces defensive and stability issues, and they see Molina as a reliable option to improve the quality of the team. The Argentine player has extensive international competition experience and versatile qualities. Both clubs are closely following Molina's contract. His contract with Atletico Madrid will be until 2027. Atletico Madrid may consider selling if it receives a convincing offer. City may have the advantage because of their financial resources and reputation in recent years, but United are looking for immediate combat and may attract players by providing more playing time. Molina may tend to choose Manchester United, which guarantees more opportunities for him to play. Atletico Madrid valued Molina, but Lorent's rise changed his role. Atletico Madrid is already exploring alternatives to selling Argentinians. The Bedsheets Legion knows the transfer will bring in a considerable income. Rumors say his market value is about 25 million to 30 million euros, and his transfer fee when he joined Atletico Madrid was 20 million euros two years ago.

For Molina, the Premier League will be a chance to prove itself. In England, he can get back to form, face different defenses, and improve his image in European competitions. City offers stability, frequent championships and a solid structure; while United offers exposure, opportunities for important games and opportunities to be a key player in the defensive setting. Both options are attractive.

Molina has become a hot target in the Premier League. Manchester City and Manchester United are already evaluating his signing due to his weakening role at Atletico Madrid. If his club agrees to the negotiations, we may see a formal offer in January. Molina is in a decisive moment: whether to choose to fight for the position or to accept a new challenge.
