Gasperini eyes Sporting starter as plan B, but he's not safe yet | OneFootball

Iván Fresneda remains on Roma’s shortlist to strengthen the right flank, although he has lost ground to Givairo Read. The Feyenoord full-back is currently the Italian club’s top target, although they face strong competition from Nottingham Forest.

According to ‘Roma Daily’, the capital club has submitted an offer of €23 million, plus add-ons, with the overall package potentially reaching €25 million. Feyenoord have not yet closed the door, but they want a higher fee for the 20-year-old player.

Roma, now led by Gian Piero Gasperini, have reportedly already reached an agreement with Read on a five-season contract. However, Nottingham Forest are preparing a fresh move and could offer more attractive salary terms in an attempt to persuade the young Dutch international to head to the Premier League.

Iván Fresneda as an alternative. The 21-year-old Spaniard has already been linked with Roma several times and fits the profile being sought to replace Zeki Çelik on the right side of the defense.

Sporting are believed to be looking for between €15 million and €18 million to negotiate the player’s sale, an amount lower than the fee Feyenoord are demanding for Read. If the race for the Dutchman drags on or is won by Nottingham Forest, Roma could step up talks for Fresneda.
