Molina's arrival hands Roma boss Gian Piero Gasperini a new option on the flank to fill the void left by Zeki Çelik. The Argentine full-back has signed a four-year contract and is expected to be unveiled as a Roma player soon. Football Italia understands that the club's announcement was initially expected on Tuesday evening but has been published today, accompanied by Molina's first interview as a Roma player.

Roma are also closing in on a second reinforcement in Porto's Rodrigo Mora. Talks over Mora continued through the night, with all parties said to be increasingly close to a definitive agreement. The move is structured as a paid loan with an option to buy that becomes an obligation should certain conditions be met. Football Italia understands that a verbal draft agreement has already been reached between the clubs, with only the final details remaining to be formalised.

The talent is eager to get the deal done and embrace Gasperini's project, and recent hours have brought positive contact with both Porto and the player's agent, Jorge Mendes. Interest in Inter's Luis Henrique remains concrete, with Gasperini an admirer of his qualities, but that negotiation is not yet close to a conclusion.
