Barcelona will likely make their first official offer for Ivan Fresneda, with the Blaugrana leading the race to sign the Spaniard. As reported by Spanish journalist Manuel Amor, Ivan Fresneda is Barcelona’s top target. The Spanish prodigy’s agent contacted Blaugrana. And the Catalan giants could soon make an offer to sign the teenager while also leading the race to win his services.
Ivan Fresneda is one of the most promising young talents in his hometown and already a valuable asset despite still being in his teens. The 18-year-old was outstanding last season and was a bright spot despite Real Valladolid’s relegation from La Liga.
The Spanish prodigy, once a student of Real Madrid’s famous team La Fabrica, is currently in high demand. And Fresneda made 24 appearances in all competitions for Real Valladolid this past season. Meanwhile, Valladolid’s relegation means that the teenager could be leaving this summer, with Barcelona as one of the potential clubs to pursue him.
Barcelona entered the race for the Spaniard’s signature earlier this month. And they’ve made significant strides in the race for his signature over the past few weeks. Meanwhile, reports claim Deco pushed Barcelona to get Fresneda’s services during the summer transfer window.

But the Real Valladolid winger has the potential and quality to become the long-term right-back solution for Barcelona.
Representatives for Barcelona and Fresneda have been in touch about a possible move in the summer. And the report claims the newly crowned La Liga champions lead the race to sign the 18-year-old Spaniard. Additionally, they are contemplating submitting a bid to secure his service this summer.
Barcelona’s position as the lead to land Fresneda is a by-product of Borussia Dortmund’s diminishing interest in him. Meanwhile, widespread reports have claimed that he could be available for as little as 15 million euros this summer. And it will be interesting to see if Barcelona can land the 18-year-old Spaniard in the coming weeks.
