Live Bar, August 18 news sources told ESPN that Chelsea had joined the competition to sign Fresneda. The players were waiting for Barcelona to decide whether to introduce him or not before making a decision on the future.
A few weeks ago, Fresneda gave the green light to join Barcelona, but Barcelona had internal differences on whether to sign him. Harvey prefers experienced players, such as Cancelo in Manchester City, while Decaux, the new sports director, prefers Fresneda as a long-term choice.
Barcelona’s first choice in right-back is Voith, but due to Villarreal’s asking price, it is increasingly impossible for Barcelona to complete the deal. Sources told ESPN that Barcelona did not rule out the possibility of trying to sign Cancelo and Fresneda together, but must make a decision quickly two weeks before the transfer window. Other clubs (including Chelsea) we are paying close attention to the situation of Fresneda.
The Premier League club has been paying attention to Fresneda for some time, and there will be no problem in paying baradolide’s expected transfer fee of 8 million to 10 million euros. Arsenal asked about Fresneda during the January transfer window, and the source told ESPN that West Ham also considered offering the player this summer.
In recent weeks, three Portuguese clubs, Portuguese sports, Porto and Benfica, have also shown interest in Fresneda. With the demotion of baradolide, Fresneda is determined to transfer this summer. His preferred destination is Barcelona, but he knows that time is running out. If Barcelona does not take action, he will transfer to other clubs.
