Claim Aston Villa are’ready to make a very expensive bid’ for the defender, with the Villans ‘lurking with curiosity’.
While Aston Villa spent the majority of the summer window attempting to sign a left-back from Spain in Marcos Acua, they are also said to be interested in one of his compatriots, Nahuel Molina.
The rumour comes from Italy, specifically Tutto Juve, because Juventus is also interested in the Atlético Madrid defender, who made his season debut before the international break, scoring a goal in a 7-0 win over Rayo Vallecano.
He’s widely anticipated to start again, as he did last year, with César Azpilicueta on hand to assist if necessary, but Aston Villa might spoil the party.
According to the report, Unai Emery’s side is interested in the Argentine, as are Arsenal and Manchester City.
According to reports, Atlético Madrid wants to extend their star until 2029, which would be ‘crucial’ in helping them swat away big Premier League rivals like Aston Villa, who are ‘lurking with interest’.
In fact, the Villans are’ready to make a very expensive offer’ for him, though that remains to be seen given that they already have two right-backs in their roster.
These are Matty Cash and Calum Chambers, and while an ambitious club like Aston Villa may improve on both of them with someone like Molina, it is unlikely.

Castro was questioned about Aston Villa’s reported interest in the Argentina international. He didn’t confirm or deny the Premier League club’s interest, but he did say the left-back may be sold.
“He has a cost. “I will not broadcast any negotiations,” he stated.
“If an offer comes in, we will investigate it.” If it arrives, if we realise that it is good and that it corresponds to the value, we will do it; if it does not fulfil those standards, he will remain in Sevilla and nothing will happen.”
