Ivan Fresneda is seemingly wanted by every big club in Europe right now.
The Athletic have done a deep dive on the young right-back’s situation, and it’s clear to see just how talented this teenager is by the scope of the clubs who are looking at him.
Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal have all been credited with an interest, while The Athletic also named Liverpool amongst the clubs monitoring Fresneda.
The Reds being in the market for a new right-back is rather surprising. After all, they only signed Calvin Ramsay in the summer, while Conor Bradley is also looking bright within their youth ranks.
However, you can never have enough talent at full-back, and the Reds are taking a real look at the young Spaniard.
The Merseyside club may hold an interest in the defender, but they’re not leading this race.
Apparently, Newcastle, Rennes and Borussia Dortmund are the three teams currently most likely to make a bid for the ‘fantastic’ youngster, and with those three in the race, Liverpool may not have much of a chance.
Think about it, Fresneda is barely going to get a chance ahead of Trent Alexander-Arnold at Anfield, but with Dortmund and Rennes’ growing reputation for bringing through talented young players, a move to either of those clubs could be very alluring.
Newcastle United are in a similar boat to Liverpool as Kieran Trippier is their clear first-choice at right-back, but, at the same time, the England star isn’t getting any younger, and Fresneda could probably earn a starting berth at St James’ Park within the next three years if he plays his cards right.
Where this player ends up remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure, he’s one of the hottest young properties in Europe right now.
