AC Milan and Juventus are battling it out to sign Spanish youngster Ivan Fresneda from Real Valladolid, a report claims.
As has been reported by Calciomercato.com, the young defender has seen his release clause drop from €40 million to €20 million after Valladolid were relegated from the top flight of Spanish football.
He is just 18 years old but he made an impressive 24 appearances during his breakout campaign in La Liga and the Copa del Rey.
He is now destined to move on as he has shown that he can hold his own at top-flight level and does not need to playing in the second division.
Milan and Juventus are both very interested in signing him so that they can have some more depth and a youthful talent in the right-back position. Given Milan are not struggling in that position, they may decide that the money is better spent elsewhere in the squad.
