The FC Barcelona board of directors held a meeting on Wednesday with Iván Fresneda's agent to define the fringes that remain for his signing. The club has already made its first offer for the side, but Valladolid refers to its termination clause
Iván Fresneda can turn into brief in the fourth reinforcement of the FC Barcelona for the 2023/24. The Wednesday, Mateu Alemany headed a 'summit' in the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper with one of the representatives of the agency 'LIAN Sports', which commissions of the handle of the footballer. The meeting with Raúl Verdú was positive, since the player prioritises to play in the Barça the next season.
In this sense, the main obstacle for the one of Madrid is his clause of rescission. The Valladolid insists in asking 20 million euros by the right side, a quantity that the Barcelona group hardly will equalise. The first offer culé round the 8 'kilos' net more 10 in variables, a mount more than acceptable by a footballer of 18 years whose current value in Transfermarkt is of €15m.
Fresneda Will expect by the Barça to the end of the market
With agreement until June of 2025, Iván has clear that this is the ideal moment to leave of the group 'blanquivioleta'. Although clubs like Chelsea have showed interest in ficharle, his wish is to remain in Spain to play with the Barça, conscious of the possibility to win a place in the XI of Xavi Hernández. For the moment, Ronald Araújo is the owner of the right-handed band, but the performance of the 'charrúa' has left some doubt in the pre-season.
The others options for the place are Sergi Roberto and Jules Koundé, by which the technician egarense insists in fichar a natural player for the side. On the future of Fresneda, Fran Sánchez, sportive director of the Valladolid, admitted does a pair of weeks that had received a pair of formal offers by the Madrilenian. In this sense, the director added: "If it arrives an offer that consider sufficient can be that it go out, but to day of today there is not at all immediate. The value of the player put it we".
The 'option Cancel' dissipates for the Barça
The another alternative that handles the directive like prioritaria regarding right sides is Joao Cancel, but the Manchester City has denied to negotiate the terms of the cession of the luso, further of the scarce leadership that the defender will have in the club if it remains . The managerial 'sky blue' asks 10 million euros by the loan by a year, with an option of compulsory purchase in 2024 that rondaría the 40-50 'kilos'. Besides, the Barça would have to assume the whole of the wage of the side (€14m), which inflaría his index card too much.
