Exclusive: Sporting seek new deal for divisive Alvalade player | OneFootball

Sporting has made renewing Iván Fresneda’s contract one of its top priorities, Leonino has learned. The Alvalade club considers the right-back an important asset for both the present and future of the team and is already working to extend his contract.

According to information gathered by our newspaper, the SAD intends to ensure the continuity of the 21-year-old wing-back, not only because of his growth potential, but also due to the interest he has attracted in other markets. Although he is under contract with Sporting until 2028, the renewal would serve to further strengthen the squad’s stability, just as has been done with other teammates.

Internally, Rui Borges is very pleased with the young defender’s development, as he continues to adapt to the demands of Portuguese football and the technical team’s ideas. His potential for growth is seen as a decisive factor for continued investment, even though he is not yet unanimously accepted among Sporting fans.

Talks between the parties are expected to progress in the near future, with the aim of reaching an agreement that satisfies both the Club and the player. The Board believes the renewal can be concluded without major obstacles, further strengthening the sporting project for the coming seasons.

Iván Fresneda – valued at 12 million euros – has already played 20 matches for Sporting this season: 11 in Liga Portugal, five in the Champions League, three in the Portuguese Cup, and one in the Super Cup. In his 1,300 minutes on the pitch, he has already scored one goal and provided one assist.
