Gasperini seeks Varandas discount to sign Sporting defender | OneFootball

Iván Fresneda has once again been linked with Roma. The Italian club is said to be stepping up its interest in Sporting right-back and has reportedly already started talks with the Lions' officials to understand the conditions of a possible transfer.

According to Corriere dello Sport, the SAD led by Frederico Varandas has set a price between €15 million and €18 million to let the Spain Under-21 international leave.

Tony D’Amico, the new sporting director of the team from the Italian capital, is personally leading the process. The executive wants to quickly find a solution to the gap left on the right flank after Zeki Çelik’s move to Juventus on a free transfer.

He is described by the publication as the "perfect candidate" for the profile defined by Gian Piero Gasperini. The Spaniard is praised for his ability to cover the entire flank, his quality in one-on-one duels, and the security he provides in defensive situations.

The Italian newspaper also highlights the European experience the player has gained, despite being only 21 years old. Fresneda played 10 matches in the last edition of the Champions League and has regularly featured in continental competitions since arriving at Sporting in 2023.
