Molina could sway future of Rui Borges key man, but Sporting have no offers | OneFootball

Iván Fresneda has once again been linked with Roma as they look to strengthen the right side of their defense. The Spanish Sporting full-back has emerged as an alternative to Nahuel Molina, the Atlético Madrid player who is also on the Italian club’s shortlist.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Roma’s officials are monitoring the Sporting defender’s situation. However, according to the latest information from Record, no formal offer has yet arrived at Alvalade for the 21-year-old footballer.

Sporting’s board are not willing to open the door to Iván Fresneda leaving, as he has grown in importance in Rui Borges’ plans and is expected to remain in the squad in 2026/27. The Spaniard is under contract until June 2028 and has a release clause set at €80 million.

In addition to Roma, Fresneda has also already been linked with Arsenal and Newcastle during the current transfer window. Despite the international interest, Sporting’s stance remains firm, and only an offer deemed impossible to refuse could change their plans.

The Spain under-21 international made 39 appearances for Sporting last season, scoring one goal and providing two assists. After ending the campaign sidelined through injury, the defender returned in the Cinco Violinos Trophy, where he helped the Lions secure another victory.
