According to AS, Sporting CP right-back Iván Fresneda has regained his excellent form from last season and is now competing for a place in Spain's national team. Previously, Roma offered 30 million euros for him, and Arsenal has also shown interest.

In the fifth round of the Primeira Liga, Sporting CP defeated Nacional da Madeira 2-0. Rúben Amorim's side showed excellent form in the match, with Fresneda delivering an outstanding performance and rediscovering his excellent form from last season. The Spanish right-back was commanding throughout, winning 8 defensive duels and not being dribbled past despite one close attempt. In attack, Fresneda was also active, advancing high up the pitch. In the 75th minute, he almost scored, but his shot was saved by Renan Ribeiro. After this match, Sporting CP sits on 13 points, two behind leaders Porto.
With Fresneda back in the starting lineup for three consecutive matches, Sporting CP's goals conceded have decreased significantly. In their last three matches, the team has conceded only one goal, compared to four goals conceded in the two matches before Fresneda returned to the starting XI. Portuguese media have particularly highlighted Sporting CP's defensive improvement since Fresneda's return, as the right-back has once again demonstrated his best form.
Fresneda's start to this season has been notable. He recovered from an injury that caused him to miss the end of last season, but in the first two matches of the new campaign, he played only 17 minutes.
Recently, according to AS, Sporting CP rejected Roma's 30 million euro offer for Fresneda, and there have been reports that Premier League clubs are interested in him. In fact, Fresneda is reportedly one of the players Arsenal has considered to strengthen their right-back position. Andrea Berta, currently Arsenal's sporting director, was interested in Fresneda when he held the same position at Atlético Madrid.
Sporting CP has been unwilling to accept offers from other clubs for Fresneda. Rúben Amorim, speaking about him at a press conference before the match against Nacional da Madeira, said: "Although he is only 21 years old, he is very mature and is a very important voice in the team."
Currently, Fresneda hopes to at least replicate his outstanding performances from last season, when his displays in the Champions League were also crucial.
In Spain's U21 team, Fresneda has always been an undisputed starter. AS has also reported several times that his name has been included in Spain's national team considerations. Now, with Llorente's withdrawal from the national team, a vacancy has opened at right-back, and Fresneda has the opportunity to be called up to the national team, becoming an option for this position alongside Pedro Porro. To date, Fresneda has made 13 Champions League appearances and 4 Europa League appearances, accumulating 1,278 minutes of play in European competitions. After representing Spain's U18, U19, and U21 teams, the right-back is now officially beginning to compete for a place in the national team.
