After agreeing on a transfer fee, Manchester United and Fenerbahce are close to finalizing the signing of midfielder Fred.
Man United will reportedly receive €15 million plus bonuses for the Brazilian international, as reported by famous writer Fabrizio Romano.
After reaching a personal agreement with the Turkish giants, Fred is on his way to the doctor for a checkup.
He moved from Shakhtar Donetsk of the Ukrainian Premier League to Old Trafford for €60 million in 2018.
Fred’s contributions to United have been outstanding.
The Brazilian superstar’s five years with the club have been up and down, with his performance fluctuating wildly.
His best season at United was last year, when he assisted on 12 goals.Erik ten Hag claimed he was more of a substitute whose energy could come in handy late in the game.
The lengths he went to in order to cover every blade of grass on the field will live on in infamy.
Mason Mount signed with Man United this summer. Since then, Fred’s potential departure had grown more apparent.
United made the right call by letting Fred go, as he was well past his prime at age 30.
Although the €15 million fee is inadequate, it is better than nothing.
