This summer, Ivan Fresneda is supposedly up for sale, and Arsenal is apparently again in the running to sign him.
This summer, the North Londoners are anticipated to be searching for a new right-back. Ben White is Mikel Arteta’s sole trustworthy alternative because Takehiro Tomiyasu is expected to remain out of commission until mid-October.
Due to this, Joao Cancelo and Sacha Boey have been mentioned in connection with Arsenal, although The Sun claims that Fresneda is once again a target.
Ivan Fresneda may join Arsenal for just £17.5 million.
Arsenal has been keeping an eye on Ivan Fresneda for several months.
In the January transfer window, the Gunners were frequently mentioned in connection with a move to sign him. At one point, a move even appeared to be on the horizon, but no agreement was reached.
The reason Arsenal chose against signing Fresneda in January is now stated in the report. According to reports, Real Valladolid sought £35 million to release the talented right-back, an exorbitant sum for someone who is only 18 years old.
Edu made the right decision to pass on the possibility, but since the Spanish club was relegated from La Liga, Fresneda is now available for £17.5 million, which is only half of what they demanded in January.
According to the latest report, Arsenal has renewed its interest in the Spaniard and may attempt to sign him in the upcoming weeks.

Fresneda is a ‘great’ talent in truth.
The 18-year-old is currently “one of the biggest prospects in European football,” and he would play exactly like Mikel Arteta.
He’s only a teenager, so he’ll only get better over the next several years, and at £17.5 million, he might end up being an amazing steal.
It will be intriguing to watch if Arsenal submits a formal offer to acquire him in the upcoming weeks.
