Fred Set to Join Fenerbahce After Manchester United Accept €15 Million Bid
Manchester United midfielder Fred is on the verge of joining Turkish club Fenerbahce after the Premier League club accepted a €15 million (£13 million) bid. The Brazilian midfielder, who is in the final year of his contract with United, has been open to a sale this summer.
Fulham had expressed interest in signing Fred, but it seems that Fenerbahce has won the race for his signature. According to reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano, United have given the green light for Fred to travel to Turkey to undergo a medical after accepting Fenerbahce’s offer.
With Fred’s departure imminent, United are now expected to focus on securing a replacement. The club is reportedly planning a move for Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat. Amrabat has previously worked with United’s manager Erik ten Hag during their time together at Utrecht. However, Juventus has also expressed interest in signing the midfielder this summer.
Fiorentina is willing to sell Amrabat before the end of the transfer window but is demanding a €25 million (£21.6 million) transfer fee. It remains to be seen whether United can negotiate a deal that satisfies both parties.
In addition to pursuing Amrabat, United is also in negotiations with Real Sociedad over a potential loan deal for Donny van de Beek. Van de Beek has struggled for game time since joining United and a loan move could provide him with the opportunity for regular first-team football.
Meanwhile, United is open to selling midfielder Scott McTominay if West Ham can come closer to meeting their £40 million valuation. McTominay has been a key player for United in recent seasons but could be deemed surplus to requirements if the right offer comes in.
It’s worth noting that United has already accepted West Ham’s £30 million offer for defender Harry Maguire. Maguire is set to complete his move to West Ham after receiving a significant pay-off from United.
As the transfer window enters its final stages, United fans will be eagerly awaiting further developments. The club’s activity in the market will be crucial in determining their prospects for the upcoming season.
