Ivan Fresenda, 18, from Valladolid, is now Sporting’s choice to bolster the right wing and compete with Riccardo Esgio and Gini Catamo for a place in the eleven and, as BOLA has discovered, the Lions have already contacted the Spanish club to find out in what circumstances the player’s pass could be substituted.

The response of the Spaniards was not very kind to the Lions, as they demanded 16 million euros for the economic rights of the under-19s of Spain.

The Lions pledge not to abandon this process, although they realize that it will not be easy to implement, because Fresnida is also on the wish list of clubs such as Arsenal, Real Madrid or Barcelona.

In the case of the Catalans, according to the data found by our newspaper, they did not advance further to Fresenda because the main option for the right side is the Portuguese Joao Cancelo, who is still contractually linked to Manchester City.

One piece of data that can facilitate the process is the good relations that exist between the two clubs, as in the recent past, the Lions were assigned to the Spanish club, with the option to buy. Paolo Pizzolano.

section of the Scouts Sporting identified Ivan Fresenda for a long time, and the final signing could be a good omen for the Lions, as the last right-back recruited from Valladolid – on loan from Manchester City – was Pedro Burrow, who left a very positive imprint on Alvalade, and his ticket was sold to Tottenham for 45 million euros.

Despite his young age, the Madrid-born player has interesting numbers, as he played last season in 24 matches for the club owned by Ronaldo Nazario, and in the previous season, still at the age of 17, he played in two matches.

Fresnida was put in the lead by the Lions after they realized the difficulties that would have to, for one reason or another, sign the Italian Alessando Zanoli, from Napoli, who was loaned last season to Sampdoria.

The lions continue to work on the process but Fresinda is gaining strength.
