Sporting warned over Fresneda: big European clubs keen | OneFootball

Iván Fresneda’s contract expires at the end of the 2027/28 sporting season and Sporting do not want to waste any more time, so, according to the latest reports in the national sports press, they have stepped up negotiations with a view to renewing it.

At this moment, the possibility on the table is that the Spain Under-21 international’s deal could be extended until 2031, in a process that would also earn him asubstantial pay rise, to more than €1 million net per year, though it would not affect his current release clause, set at €80 million.

During last summer’s transfer window, the right-back was linked with some of the biggest clubs in European football, including Arsenal, Manchester City, Newcastle, Real Madrid and Roma, so his compatriot, Toñito, applauds the decision taken by the board led by Frederico Varandas to “tie him down”.

"I think he is having a fantastic season, a fantastic start to the season, in which he is really catching the eye. He was already having a good season last year. For Sporting, it is a blessing to have a player like him, and for him, it is a blessing to be in a team like Sporting", he began by telling Antena 1’s ´Jornal de Desporto´.

The former Lions midfielder (1999–2004) reinforced his opinion. "That combination allows all of his talent to come to the fore and makes big teams across Europe interested in him", he added, praising Fresneda’s quality.
