Ivan Fresneda to Arsenal transfer latest as Edu revives interest in a move
According to reports, Real Valladolid’s Ivan Fresneda is being considered as a potential signing by Arsenal in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Arsenal, who were the frontrunners in the Premier League title race for most of the 2022/23 season but fell short, finishing behind Manchester City, are now looking to strengthen their squad for the next season.
It has been suggested that Mikel Arteta, Arsenal’s manager, is interested in reinforcing their defense, and Fresneda has frequently been mentioned as a potential target.
ArsenalBrief has compiled information regarding the speculations surrounding Fresneda’s future with Valladolid.
Relegation clause
As per the Sun, Arsenal has renewed their interest in Ivan Fresneda, the Real Valladolid defender, following the Spanish club’s relegation from La Liga. Arsenal had previously considered signing Fresneda during the January transfer window, but a deal did not come to fruition at that time.
However, it is now reported that Valladolid’s relegation to the Segunda Division has led to a significant reduction in Fresneda’s asking price, prompting Arsenal to reignite their pursuit of the 18-year-old player.
Interest reignited
According to German outlet BILD, Arsenal has reportedly submitted a “lucrative offer” for Ivan Fresneda in anticipation of the upcoming summer transfer window.
The 18-year-old defender was previously linked with a move in January, although the deal did not materialize.
It is stated that Arsenal is now looking to build for the future and has made a significant offer for Fresneda. Furthermore, it is mentioned that Borussia Dortmund from the Bundesliga is also keeping an eye on the young player’s situation.
Summer wait
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, he stated on Twitter that Ivan Fresneda will not be leaving Valladolid, at least during the winter transfer window.
“Understand Iván Fresneda will stay at Valladolid in January unless there are twists in the final hours.
“Arsenal & Borussia Dortmund wanted Spanish talented RB but deal was never done, Fresneda now expected to stay and help Valladolid. Next step: top club move in the summer.”
Player admission
According to The Metro, Ivan Fresneda was seen reassuring Valladolid supporters that he would not be leaving the La Liga club during the current month. While signing shirts for some Valladolid fans, the 18-year-old reportedly stated, “No, I’m not leaving, calm down.”
This suggests that Fresneda has expressed his commitment to staying with Valladolid at the moment.
Transfer price
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Real Valladolid has reportedly set a price of €15 million (£13.25 million) for the potential transfer of Ivan Fresneda in the upcoming week.
It is stated that the Spanish club is interested in loaning the young player back for the remainder of the season, but Arsenal is reportedly not willing to agree to such an arrangement.
Fresneda interest
It has been reported that Arsenal is monitoring the possibility of signing Ivan Fresneda before the January transfer window closes.
The talented young full-back has been performing well for his current team, and his ability to play in an inverted role, effectively joining the midfield line, aligns with Mikel Arteta’s footballing philosophy.
Arsenal is evaluating the potential of acquiring Fresneda to strengthen their squad during the ongoing transfer window.
