Sporting Rejected Roma's Fresneda Bid a Month Ago

Spanish newspaper As reported on Monday that Roma's bid for Iván Fresneda was rejected by Sporting. The news refers to an approach made approximately a month ago, which A BOLA had already revealed in late July.

The Madrid daily now adds that the proposal was for €25 million plus variables, an insufficient sum to persuade the Alvalade club. Sporting is counting on the 21-year-old Spaniard, who is set to reclaim his starting spot at right-back now that he has recovered and is ready to relegate Vagiannidis to the bench.

In the interim, Roma moved on in the transfer market, signing Nahuel Molina from Atlético de Madrid for €13 million to fill their right-back position.
