The right-back position did seem to be a big worry for Manchester City at the start of the 25–26 season. It appeared like Matheus Nunes and Rico Lewis would compete for the position of City’s starting right-back.
However, Abdukodir Khusanov’s ascent has made the Uzbek international appear to be the best candidate to start at right-back for Pep Guardiola’s team. Khusanov performed admirably as a right-back against Manchester United, Napoli, and Arsenal.
Unfortunately, Khusanov has been sidelined due to an injury.
According to a recent report, Nahuel Molina, the World Cup winner for Atletico Madrid, is a possible target for Manchester City. Molina is a player with the background to join Pep Guardiola’s team. He can play in midfield or at right-back.
Manchester City will try to acquire a right-back during the January transfer window, according to Dean Jones’ article for TeamTalk. Additionally, according to Jones, City believes Nahuel Molina could join Pep Guardiola’s team and improve the calibre and experience of the right-back position.
Man City show interest in Nahuel Molina
Molina is a 54-time Argentina international with a wealth of top-tier experience. He played in every game during the tournament, won the World Cup, and played a crucial role in his country’s ascent to glory. In addition to winning the Copa America with his nation, he is regarded as Lionel Scaloni’s team’s first-choice starter.
It wasn’t until 2021, a year after moving to Italy with Udinese, that the 27-year-old established himself as a senior international. He began his career with Boca Juniors in Argentina.
He has made 26 appearances in the Champions League and has continuously assisted his team in placing among the top four. This season, he has struggled to get first-team minutes and has only started one league game, spending the rest of his time on the substitute bench.
