Newcastle United are reportedly keen on signing 27-year-old Atletico Madrid defender Nahuel Molina in the summer transfer window.

According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Newcastle United are lining up a £17.5 million move for 27-year-old Atletico Madrid full-back Nahuel Molina.

Molina has shown his quality in La Liga, and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition for Newcastle. The Magpies already have Tino Livramento at their disposal, and it will be interesting to see how they accommodate Molina in the starting lineup.

The World Cup winner will want to play regularly if he moves to the Premier League. On the other hand, Livramento has been a key player for Newcastle and dropping him to the bench would be harsh. The young defender will look to play regularly as well. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.

If Newcastle managed to sign the experienced La Liga defender for a fee of £17.5 million, it would be a major coup for them. The 27-year-old could prove to be a bargain at that price.

Molina could be tempted to join Newcastle

Newcastle have secured Champions League qualification for the next season, and they will be an attractive destination for players. The 27-year-old World Cup winner could be tempted to join them.

They have an exciting project and a talented squad. They have managed to win the English League Cup this season, and they will be hoping to fight for trophies next year as well. Molina will certainly look to fulfil his ambitions with the Magpies if he ends up joining them.

It will be interesting to see if Atletico Madrid are willing to sanction his departure in the coming weeks.

The player has the quality and the experience to thrive in the Premier League, and he could prove to be a bargain acquisition for Newcastle.

Newcastle will be competing in the UEFA Champions League, and they need a deeper squad in order to do well across multiple competitions. The experienced South American seems like the ideal acquisition for them. It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few weeks.
