According to reporters saying Liverpool are reportedly firmly in the race for Real Valladolid youngster Ivan Fresneda for now
Although the 18-year-old’s future is currently the subject of much speculation, with a number of clubs said to be keeping an eye on his performances for his La Liga club.
But Newcastle United were heavily linked with the defender early in the January transfer window, but Arsenal are now believed to be the frontrunners for his signature.
Report from ” The Athletic” saying Liverpool are also showing an interest, with the Merseyside giants preparing to battle their Premier League rivals for his signature before the end of the month.
Fresneda spent time with Real Madrid’s academy during his youth career, representing Los Blancos between 2014 and 2018 before moving to Leganes.
The Spain Under-19s international then arrived at Real Valladolid in 2020, initially turning out for their B side before making his first-team debut last September.
Fresneda has now made 11 appearances for his Spanish club this season, including nine outings in La Liga.
The right-back is again expected to be involved in Saturday night’s La Liga contest with Atletico Madrid despite the ongoing speculation surrounding his future.
Real Valladolid have Fresneda on a contract until June 2025, but the club would not be in a position to reject a sizeable offer from a Premier League club.
