Barcelona are now in the running for Juventus target Ivan Fresneda, and the Catalans could beat the Bianconeri to his signing.
Fresneda has become one of the most exciting Spanish talents in the world and several top European clubs want to add him to their squad.
The full-back is a player who has proven that age is just a number, as he impresses against even the toughest of opponents.
This has made Juve interested in a move for him and the likes of Arsenal and Newcastle United are also following the 18-year-old.
However, a report in Tuttomercatoweb reveals that Barca have joined the race and are pushing to convince the right-back to join them on a permanent deal.
Juve FC says
Fresneda is a great talent, but he might feel too young to leave Spain now, giving Barcelona a significant advantage in the race for his signature.
The culés have placed their trust in young talents led by Xavi Hernández and that makes them attractive to other teenage stars of Spanish football.
We must start working on the move now if we are to complete the transfer by the end of this season and Fresneda will have a big decision to make when the term ends.
