However, the full-back positions are also a concern, with Joao Cancelo potentially leaving after his loan spell with Bayern Munich, and long-serving Kyle Walker due to turn 33 later this month. Guardiola is reportedly considering Molina as a solution to this issue. Molina, who can play at right wing-back and right midfield, has had a successful season in La Liga, contributing three goals and two assists in 28 starts.
If City were to express interest, Atletico would demand around €60m (£52.25m) for the 25-year-old, who has a contract until 2027. If Molina were to depart, Atletico would need to sign two new right-backs, as Matt Doherty is expected to leave on a free transfer at the end of the season.
