The transfer market continues to be hectic and one of the names that has caused the most excitement is Iván Fresneda. The Real Valladolid right-back has been the subject of speculation since Barcelona submitted their first offer, which was rejected by the Valladolid club. However, interest in the player has not waned and now a new contender has joined the race to land the promising defender.
According to reports from Sport, Chelsea have shown interest in Iván Fresneda. Rumor has it that the English club could make an offer in the coming days if negotiations between Fresneda and Barcelona don’t go through. This situation reflects the challenges Barcelona are facing in the summer market, which has affected the operations of several clubs including Real Valladolid.
The uncertainty about Fresneda’s future has also affected the planning of the Valladolid team. Coach Paulo Pezzolano had to make strategic decisions and opted to use Fresneda and Luis Pérez in defense while Lucas Rosa played a more advanced role on the pitch. The potential departure of Fresneda could have an impact on the team’s structure and tactics.
Valladolid has him
Despite the speculation and possible squad changes, Fresneda has proven to be a professional role model. The player continues to train with the team and recently had a chance to prove himself in a match against Portuguese club AVS, where he played for 45 minutes. Furthermore, the manager has left open the possibility that Fresneda could leave the club but will continue to count on him for the time being.
