Two teams from the Premier League, Sporting de Portugal and Porto make a move for him
Deco is his main supporter and has not neglected his interest, although the priority is Cancelo
Xavi Hernández has repeated it both actively and passively: Barça needs the incorporation of a right-back in this transfer market. The name that interests the most is Joao Cancelo, but the complexity of the operation forces the sports management to find alternatives and this is where the option of Iván Fresneda gains strength.
The Valladolid footballer welcomes joining Barça. Deco, his main supporter, has asked his representatives for time to try to fit the operation into the financial ‘fair play’. However, and according to ‘Relevo’ reports, Fresneda has other options on the table that have conveyed his desire to sign him. We are talking about two clubs from the Premier League, Sporting de Portugal and Porto.
Barça was the first to send a formal offer to Valladolid, estimated at eight million fixed euros, plus ten in variable (its termination clause is 20 ‘kilos’). But the Pucelano club dismissed it.
As is well known, Barça’s first option to reinforce the right-back is Joao Cancelo, although the complexity of the operation forces the culé sports management to consider other alternatives. In the event that the blaugrana do not receive the green light for the City player, Fresneda would become the first option. However, they are not two incompatible signings and the club would try to accommodate Xavi’s desire (Cancel), as well as a player with a future (Fresneda).
