Earlier on Thursday, we relayed news from Spain that Newcastle United chief scout Steve Nickson met Iván Fresneda’s agent a few days ago and is seriously contemplating signing the Real Valladolid player in the winter market.
It was also explained the right-back expects the Magpies to make an offer between €10m and €15m in the next few days even though he has a €30m release clause.
Newcastle United are joined by Juventus and Borussia Dortmund in the chase for the 18-year-old.
Calciomercato.it journalist Alessio Lento took to Twitter to now claim that there are ‘no advanced negotiations’ from Eddie Howe’s side and the German club to sign the defender in January.
Lento adds Newcastle or BVB could secure the fullback’s services by paying around €12-13m as this price set by Valladolid to sanction Fresneda’s sale.
Nessuna trattativa avanzata per #Fresneda con #Newcastle e/o #BVB. Club interessati, come la #Juventus, bloccata fino al 18 gennaio (CdA) e da #McKennie: alte le richieste d'ingaggio ai club interessati. #Valladolid cede per 12/13 milioni @calciomercatoit #calciomercato

Juve are named as an interested club, and they are still in the background for the Spain U19 international.
The possibility of the Serie A side making an approach for Fresneda will be decided after the shareholders meeting that will take place on January 18th.
