Perhaps the weakest position in the current squad is the right-back position. Carvajal remains unchallenged, despite having Odriozola, and Lucas Vazquez still holds the position
Vinicius Tobias, at the moment without a record in the first team, remains a plan for the future. He continues to offer advantages to getting into the first team and the reality is that he’s doing really well at Valdebebas and with Ancelotti. However, after paying his clause, Real Madrid have yet to decide on his future
It rarely takes long for the talented youngster to catch the eye of the big football sharks these days, and in Ivan Fresnida’s case, it took him just nine first-team appearances
At the recent age of 18, Fresnida has been in great form with Real Valladolid this season since joining the team. Only in his debut last season, Fresenda was thrown into the fifth round of the match against Girona by Bacheta
He has since missed three games with a hamstring problem and sat one on the bench, but has been a starter in every other game. Accurate on the ball, energetic and above all, solid in defense, Fresenda raised eyebrows with his performance
Although based on limited data, Fresneda is ranked in the top 7% of defenders in tackles, dribbles, and clearances. He also averages 1.54 steals per game and ranks in the top 10% for key assists
At only 18 and with so little of his name appearing, it’s probably too early to judge Fresnida’s quality. However, for a first season on a team often forced to defend most of the game, Fresenda’s performance was encouraging
Valladolid had a clause in his contract that increased the buyout clause from €10m to €30m if he played 22 times with the first team. It shows La Pucela clearly appreciates him, though he could precipitate Fresneda’s move sooner rather than later, too
case to follow
The relationship between Florentino Perez and Ronaldo Nazaro is developing, and in one of the meetings, the situation of Fresenda was discussed
The agreement is informed of any offer to him in the event that he wants to match him or sign the player and then transfer him to Valladolid itself or to another. He is a player who also plays for the white team, and stands out for Spain’s lower national team. Case to follow and take into account
