Atletico Madrid to consider offers for three defenders

Atletico Madrid will consider offers for Nahuel Molina, Clement Lenglet and Jose Maria Gimenez this summer, while eyeing potential replacement Agustin Giay.

The club, under new Sporting Director Mateu Alemany, is set to review offers for three defenders: Nahuel Molina, Clement Lenglet and Jose Maria Gimenez. Molina, who joined for €20m from Udinese, has struggled to meet expectations, while Lenglet’s game time has dropped since arriving from Barcelona. Gimenez, a World Cup winner, has already received interest from clubs in Argentina and Italy and is expected to depart after the tournament.

Atletico also tracks Palmeiras right‑back Agustin Giay as a potential replacement for Molina. The club has recently strengthened its backline with David Hancko, Marc Pubill and Matteo Ruggeri, and is looking to rebuild the squad for the upcoming season.
