Arsenal renew interest in Ivan Fresneda ahead of transfer window

Summary

Arsenal is reportedly linked with a move for Ivan Fresneda, a 21-year-old right-back currently at Sporting CP. Fresneda's contract includes an €80 million release clause, which has raised questions about Arsenal's willingness to pay such a fee. The speculation follows a history of interest dating back to when Fresneda was 17. He joined Sporting from Real Valladolid for around €9 million after Arsenal had pursued him in previous transfer windows. With right-back injuries a concern for Arsenal, Fresneda remains a target, indicating potential negotiations may arise as the transfer window progresses.
