The website "Fichajes" confirmed that Manchester City prioritizes signing the young Spanish player Ivan Fresneda, the right-back from Sporting Lisbon, to strengthen the right side of the team's defense.

Coach Pep Guardiola believes that Fresneda possesses all the qualities needed to integrate into the playing style of the English club and contribute in the long term.

Reports have indicated that Manchester City is seeking urgent solutions after previous attempts to strengthen the right-back position have failed. Meanwhile, Fresneda, who is 21 years old, has emerged as one of the standout rising talents in the Portuguese league due to his speed, tactical discipline, and ability to make the right decisions on the field, making him an ideal option for Guardiola.

The same source indicated that Sporting Lisbon will not make it easy for the player to leave, as they have set a release clause of approximately £70 million, reflecting his increasing market value. Manchester City is exploring the possibility of negotiating during the upcoming summer transfer window, as they will have a greater margin for signing players. It is worth noting that Fresneda has become a key player in Sporting's lineup, contributing effectively to both defensive and offensive aspects.

The report confirmed that Manchester City's plan revolves around securing a long-term future replacement for the right-back position. Fresneda is seen as a modern full-back capable of building from the back and advancing the ball forward. A potential transfer next summer could become one of the most significant youth investments for the English club.
