Simeone is tired and asks for his signing: Nahuel Molina's days could be numbered

Simeone does not fully trust his full-back and could explore the market

Diego Pablo Simeone has made it clear that he needs a reinforcement on the right flank. Nahuel Molina, despite his performances, has not completely convinced the Argentine coach. Faced with this situation, Atlético de Madrid has set its sights on Kiliann Sildillia , a promising youngster from Freiburg.

The new European jewel

Kiliann Sildillia, at just 22 years old, has become one of the most sought-after full-backs in Europe. His performances in the Bundesliga and at the Olympic Games with the French national team have caught the attention of big clubs, including Atlético de Madrid. The young defender has proven to be a complete player, capable of shining both in defence and attack.

Since his arrival at Freiburg, Sildillia has shown remarkable progress. He has known how to take advantage of every opportunity, consolidating himself as a starter on the right flank. His constant advances and his defensive ability have made him a key piece for his team. Now, his potential has put him in the orbit of elite clubs looking for youth and quality in their squads.

Simeone looks for alternatives for the right wing

Simeone, always on the lookout for promising new players , sees Sildillia as an ideal option to reinforce Atlético de Madrid's right flank. With a starting price of 20 million euros, the signing of the Frenchman would be a strategic bet. Not only is he a player with the immediate ability to perform in La Liga, but he also has a promising future.

Nahuel Molina on the tightrope

Sildillia's arrival could mean a major change in Atlético's defence. Nahuel Molina, who has had ups and downs in his performance, could see his position compromised if the Frenchman lands in Madrid. Simeone wants guarantees in all lines, and the competition for the position would be fierce.

Atletico Madrid have demonstrated in recent years their ability to sign young talents and develop them under Simeone's guidance. Sildillia fits this profile perfectly. His ability to adapt to different tactical schemes and his room for improvement make him an attractive option for the club.

Nahuel Molina's performance has been questioned for some time and despite the fact that he is not a priority, the club is keeping an eye on this option. Either the Argentine improves at the start of the season, or Atlético de Madrid could look for a way out for him.
