Reports making the rounds in the football transfer world have set tongues wagging after news emerged that Atlético Madrid star Nahuel Molina has rejected a move to the English Premier League.
According to respected transfer journalist Matteo Moretto, the La Liga right-back, who has been linked with several European giants, recently caught the attention of AFC Bournemouth. The Cherries are said to have presented an official offer for the 27-year-old Argentine international.
Omo, this is going to hot — because this wasn’t just transfer gossip. The offer was real! But Molina, showing zero interest in the move, allegedly turned it down without hesitation.
Juventus Also in the Picture
The Argentine’s decision comes at a time when Juventus have been heavily linked with a potential move for him. The Italian Serie A giants are believed to be keeping a close eye on the situation, hoping to lure the former Udinese man back to Italy.
According to Moretto, Molina remains a key figure for Diego Simeone at Atlético Madrid, with the manager seeing him as an “important player” in his plans. This means any move away from the Wanda Metropolitano would not come cheap.
Why the Rejection Matters
For a player in the prime of his career, turning down a Premier League offer—where big wages often lure top talents—has raised eyebrows among fans and pundits. Some believe Molina is holding out for a more prestigious club, while others think he’s loyal to Simeone’s project in Madrid.
Omo, football transfer season no dey carry last — one minute a deal is close, the next it’s gone! With Juventus circling and the summer window still open, Molina’s name could keep popping up in the headlines.
