The player, who was also courted by Valencia CF, is moving away from Como, the team managed by Cesc Fàbregas.
Como 1907 coach Cesc Fàbregas said on Monday that the signing of Iván Fresneda, the Spanish right back from Sporting Lisbon, has become complicated in recent hours.
Initially targeted by Valencia during this transfer window, the former player of the Real Madrid team, who also played in Leganés and Valladolid, seemed on the verge of joining Como 1907 until the latter’s call capsized the Spanish player.
However, after several days of negotiations, the operation appears to be blocked in both directions due to parallel actions involving Juventus Turin.
“Fresneda was a player very close to joining us, but a transaction involving Juve and Sporting Lisbon complicated things,” the coach told a press conference ahead of Tuesday’s match against Milan.

The operation mentioned by the 2010 world champion with Spain concerns Alberto Costa.
Also a right back, he was targeted by Sporting to strengthen this position due to the potential departure of Fresneda, but Juventus has accelerated its efforts and aims to finalize the signing of this 21-year-old player, thus blocking Fresneda’s departure.
