Accordingly, the right defensive side of the “Werkself” is one of Bayer’s construction sites as part of the squad change announced by managing director Simon Rolfes. Moussa Diaby and Jeremie Frimpong could possibly leave the Bundesliga side if there are lucrative offers despite the current contract. The same applies to Timothy Fosu-Mensah, who only made seven brief appearances this season. The money generated by possible sales could be invested in new transfers, for the U19 international Fresneda, whose contract with the northern Spanish club runs until 2025, Valladolid is said to have set a pain threshold of 15 million euros.

The magazine reports that the 18-year-old is open to moving to Germany. Compared to the Premier League, Fresneda sees more chances of regular playing times and a corresponding development perspective in the Bundesliga. In the current season, the homegrown player, who has been thrown back by a thigh injury, has played ten league games for Real. In addition to Bayer and BVB, Eintracht Frankfurt and VfL Wolfsburg are said to have kept an eye on Fresneda.

“It will be a different summer than the last,” Bayer boss Rolfes recently announced with a view to the planned transfer activities. Coach Xabi Alonso took over the team in the fall in “an extremely insecure state. You had to lay a foundation. That was the defensive stability. We have made huge progress there – individually and as a group. Now we have to develop the playful component,” said Rolfes, who added with regard to the squad: “Due to the contract terms alone, there will be a lot more movement.” Six working papers, including that of ex-national player Karim Bellarabi, are running at Bayer out at the end of the season.
