Iván Fresneda’s Move to Como
Iván Fresneda going to Como shows how the transfer market keeps changing. Fresneda who came to Sporting CP in 2023 was really good for them since he came from Real Madrid’s youth teams and played for Spain’s U19 and U18 teams. He’s worth about €7.00 million right now with a €80 million release clause. Como getting Fresneda is part of what they’re trying to do to make their team better like how they also want Jean Butez from Royal Antwerp.
Transfer Market Dynamics
Alberto Costa going to Sporting CP and Iván Fresneda moving to Como shows how competitive the world football transfer market is. These transfers are kind of like other big moves like when Isidro Pitta went to Red Bull Bragantino recently. Sporting CP is still really important in the Primeira Liga trying to keep up with teams like Benfica.
