A Return to Familiar Surroundings

Molina wore the Udinese shirt from 2020 to 2022, during which time he caught the attention of Europe's top clubs. Although sources differ on the exact figures, according to Net.hr, he scored nine goals in 64 Serie A appearances for the Friulian club, while Gazzetta dello Sport reports 10 goals in 68 league matches.

Gasperini's Tactical Vision
