Iván Fresneda is back on Barcelona's radar. According to Spanish outlet Fichajes.net, the Catalan giants are closely monitoring the Sporting right-back and exploring a potential swoop to reinforce the position. The report comes at a pivotal moment in the Spaniard's career, having just earned his first call-up to the senior national team.
According to the Spanish publication, Barcelona have once again shortlisted Fresneda as a target for the right side of their defense, an area they are keen to strengthen. The 21-year-old's recent trajectory has only heightened their interest, with his recent call-up to La Roja serving as further proof of the former Real Valladolid defender's growing reputation.
Fresneda had already amassed 18 caps at youth level and was being closely monitored by Spain manager Luis de la Fuente. Meanwhile, in Portugal, the defender has steadily established himself as a key figure for Sporting following an initial period of adaptation at Alvalade.
Fresneda's current contract runs until 2028 and includes an €80 million release clause. As previously reported by A BOLA, the Lions are already working on a contract extension until 2031 with a clear objective: to solidify the contractual situation of a player whose stock has soared significantly in recent months.
