Barcelona renews interest in Ivan Fresneda amid contract developments

Barcelona has revived its interest in Sporting CP defender Ivan Fresneda, who is 21 years old and has an €80 million release clause. The Catalan club previously attempted to sign Fresneda from Valladolid in 2023. After rejecting offers from other clubs this summer, Sporting is negotiating Fresneda's contract renewal, which could influence Barcelona's interest. The team is exploring reinforcements for the right-back position and Fresneda’s performance in Portugal has made him a more viable option now than in previous years.
