Felix Passlack is moving to VfL Bochum, there is a big question mark behind Mateu Morey after a year-long injury odyssey and Thomas Meunier is considered a candidate for cancellation: It is no secret that Borussia Dortmund need to take action on the right-back position. With a young Spaniard, BVB should now be in pole position.
A tired 0-0 draw against bottom side FC Elche sealed the relegation of Real Valladolid on the final day of the Spanish Primera División. A major setback for the club, in which the former Brazilian world footballer Ronaldo owns the majority of the shares, but for BVB it is probably a chance to fix a construction site in the squad.
For months, Borussia have been said to be very interested in Ivan Fresneda, a change in winter is said to have failed at the last second.
As “relevo” wants to know, BVB has “the best chance” of winning the race for the 18-year-old. In addition to the black and yellow, Arsenal FC and Newcastle United from England are said to have kept an eye on the Spanish U19 international.
Arsenal FC is said to be BVB’s worst competitor
According to “Marca”, Fresneda should be available for a fixed fee of 20 million euros. With his 22 league appearances in 2022/23, the talent reached exactly the number that should have been necessary to double the total, but this contract detail is said to have lost its validity due to Valladolid’s relegation.
Fresneda is now said to be faced with the decision of whether to join Valladolid in the second tier or make the move to a bigger club. In addition to BVB, Arsenal should also have good prospects of signing the right-back, according to “relevo”. London is “a dream destination” for the youngster, who is said to have already learned some German and English in his free time.
Striking: According to the report, Fresneda invited his teammates and some club employees to dinner about two weeks ago. A gesture strongly reminiscent of a farewell.
