Historic rivals on the pitch, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona also face off. Perfect illustration during this summer transfer window where the Merengues have already played a very bad trick on the Catalans by stealing, on the wire, Arda Güler. Coveted for several weeks by the Culers, the Turkish international (4 caps, 1 goal) finally gave in to the Madrid sirens, despite Deco’s trip to Turkey to convince the player. In the footsteps of his illustrious predecessor Mesut Özil, the attacking midfielder, who arrived from Fenerbahce, will now try to win at the Santiago Bernabeu.
In the meantime, the Casa Blanca are preparing a new assault on the transfer market. To the great misfortune of the reigning Spanish champions… Thus, according to the latest information from the Diario de Valladolidconfirmed by Mundo Deportivo, the people of Madrid would have entered the dance for Ivan Fresneda, Barça’s priority to occupy the position of right side next season. Coveted by many European teams (Arsenal, Dortmund, Juventus, AC Milan, etc.), the young 18-year-old defender is seen as the perfect understudy for Dani Carvajal, the current holder.
Real still wants to interfere in the Catalan transfer window!
Under the colors of Real Valladolid, relegated to the second division, Ivan Fresneda could therefore make his return to Madrid, he who had passed through the youth teams. If the Spanish press indicates that no offer has yet been transmitted by the Merengues, MD specifies that the very good relations between Ronaldo, owner of the club, and Florentino Pérez, boss of Real, could however play in favor of the last second of Liga in this file.
For his part, the one who played 24 games in all competitions with Valladolid last season is currently playing the Euro U19 with La Rojita. Asked about his future after the victory of his family (5-0) against Greece on Friday evening, the person concerned preferred to kick in touch: “I am focused on the European Championship and then I will assess my future”. Estimated at 15 million euros and with a release clause of 20 million euros, the child of Madrid, under contract until June 2025, could therefore consider a return to his roots. One thing is certain, after the Arda Güler coup, Barça is warned…
