Barcelona revive interest in 21-year-old Spanish defender with €80m release clause

Barcelona has rekindled interest in 21-year-old Spanish defender Ivan Fresneda with an €80m release clause, according to SPORT. The club previously tried to sign Fresneda in 2020 but failed, eventually signing Marc Pubill instead. Since then, Fresneda has developed significantly in Portugal and currently plays at Champions League level.

Sporting CP has not rejected interest from other clubs, including Roma, Napoli, and Arsenal, who also inquired about the defender. Sporting's contract situation could make Fresneda a potential sale if an agreement with the Portuguese club cannot be reached. Barcelona's interest in Fresneda aligns with Hansi Flick's plans to reshape the full-back positions.
