Leonino exclusive - Move to Italy? Sporting decide Fresneda's future | OneFootball

Iván Fresneda will not be joining Roma and is expected to remain at Sporting for the 2026/27 season, Leonino has learned. The right-back will only leave Alvalade if an offer considered irresistible by the green-and-white SAD arrives, a scenario that is not expected to materialize in this transfer window.

The Italian club did make exploratory contacts to understand the conditions of a possible transfer after identifying the Spaniard as one of the possible solutions to strengthen the right flank. However, the talks did not progress into a concrete offer, and a move to the Italian capital has been ruled out.

Sporting’s hierarchy is counting on Iván Fresneda for the new season and believes the player still has an important role in Rui Borges’ plans. Although a departure is not completely off the table in the event of an extraordinary offer, Sporting’s officials do not expect to receive an approach high enough to change the plans already set.

The Spain under-21 international is under contract until June 2028 and is protected by an €80 million release clause. Fresneda featured in the friendly against Monaco and is expected to remain one of the main options for the right side of Sporting’s defense.

Iván Fresneda - valued at €15 million - made 39 appearances in a Sporting shirt last season: 23 in Liga Portugal, 10 in the Champions League, four in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup and another in the Super Cup. .
