Scout report
N. Molina is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Atletico Madrid, rated 58.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 223rd of 389 on scout potential in the La Liga. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (42.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.92 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Molina.
Judged on this season alone, Molina graded 30 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 36th of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the La Liga, on 2 goals, 2 assists and 3.919 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 37 → 30). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 59, 43rd of 73 of the 73 central midfielders in the La Liga. At 28 Molina is in his prime years, and a market index of 39 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Molina missed 3 games through injury (muscle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 26 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Atletico Madrid finished 4th of 20 · an upper-table side
3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.27 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 94.5/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 42.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 58.9, Molina carries the 43rd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the La Liga of 73. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.92 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
