The transfer market of FC Barcelona does not stop, and Deco continues to keep an eye on right-back options, with Iván Fresneda, a 22-year-old defender from Sporting in Portugal, emerging as one of the favorites. His name gained prominence after debuting with Spain on October 3, while Pedro Porro is also considered for that position.

Fresneda started against the Czech Republic in the Nations League after being called up to the senior team due to Porro's injury. The player is under contract with Sporting until 2028 with a release clause of 80 million euros.

FC Barcelona Keeps an Eye on Iván Fresneda

The international breakthrough of Iván Fresneda once again places his name in the vicinity of FC Barcelona. According to reports published this Monday, Deco values the full-back's profile positively and includes him in the club's scouting efforts to strengthen the right flank.

Fresneda joined Sporting in 2023 from Valladolid in a deal worth 9 million euros plus 2.5 million in variables. Since then, he has won two Portuguese leagues and a Portuguese Cup, overcoming an initially challenging period due to a shoulder injury.

His debut with Spain came in the 3-1 victory against the Czech Republic. Luis de la Fuente granted him a starting position after Pedro Porro's injury created an opening in the senior call-up.

The defender was previously linked to Barça before leaving Valladolid. His current situation is different now: at 22 years old, with European experience and a contract until 2028, any potential move would require negotiations with Sporting. Clearly, Fresneda is the missing piece for Barcelona to enhance the right-back position.

Pedro Porro Also Considered for the Right-Back Position

Pedro Porro is another name circulating around FC Barcelona. The 27-year-old Tottenham player was a starter for Spain during the recent World Cup triumph and extended his contract with the London club in June 2026.

His contract extension reinforces Tottenham's negotiating position, complicating any potential deal. Porro featured in 47 matches for his club last season, reaching a total of 152 appearances since his arrival in January 2023.

Barcelona is also considering the sporting fit: Porro has shown with Spain that he can share the flank with Lamine Yamal, while Fresneda offers a younger alternative with room for growth.

Deco Also Monitoring Koundé's Future

The scenario is influenced by Jules Koundé. The Frenchman has been a substitute in six out of eight official matches played by Barça this season, and Chelsea is observing his situation for upcoming transfer windows.

FC Barcelona paid 50 million euros plus add-ons to Sevilla for Koundé in 2022. A potential departure of the French player could create room, both sportingly and financially, to pursue another right-back addition.

There are no formal offers yet for Iván Fresneda or Pedro Porro. The next steps will depend on Deco's planning, Koundé's future, and the financial commitment FC Barcelona is willing to make for the vacant position in the upcoming transfer windows.
