Sporting mean business, Gasperini told to do one - Leonino confirmed | OneFootball

Roma, managed by Gian Piero Gasperini, submitted an offer for Iván Fresneda, but Sporting showed no willingness to move forward with the deal, as our newspaper reported exclusively last July 28 (Read HERE).

This Thursday, July 30, newspaper 'A Bola' confirmed that the Italians' approach was immediately rejected by the board. The figures put on the table by the 'giallorossi' were far below the valuation set by the Lions.

The Spanish right-back is part of Roma's shortlist to strengthen the position following Zeki Çelik's departure to Juventus. However, the gap between the offer submitted and the Club's demands was so significant that there was not even room for negotiations.

Sporting will only be willing to talk if presented with a highly tempting offer, which seems unlikely at this stage. Despite the rejection, Iván Fresneda continues to be monitored by the Roman side, which is looking for alternatives in the market.

The Spain under-21 international played 39 matches 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 claim another victory.
