Arsenal are stepping up their efforts to sign Real Valladolid’s Iván Fresneda. According to the Daily Mail, the Gunners want to hold further talks with his advisor in the coming week. The 18-year-old’s contract, which runs until 2025, is said to include an exit clause of around ten million euros. According to reports, the release clause would automatically increase to up to 30 million euros if Fresneda played a certain number of games.
For the Londoners, the right-back would be planned, among other things, as a replacement for Cédric Soares (31), who was willing to emigrate. In general, there is a lot to be said for a Fresneda transfer, because yesterday against Atlético Madrid (0: 3) the otherwise seeded defender was missing in the starting XI. Borussia Dortmund and Newcastle United also have the teenager on their list. In the current season he has eleven competitive games in all competitions.
