Manchester United have confirmed that they have reached an agreement with Turkish outfit Fenerbahce for the transfer of Fred.
This wasalready ɾєρօɾτed on Thursday, however, we now have confirmation from United.
On Friday evening, United ɾєⱱєɑłєԀ that an agreement with Fenerbahce had been reached over the sale. The move is set to be completed subject to agreeing personal terms and Fred passing a medical examination.
“Manchester United can confirm an agreement in principle has been reached with Fenerbahce for the transfer of Fred,”a ȿτɑτємєɴτ read viaManUtd.com.
“The Brazil international is set for a switch to the Turkish Super Lig, subject to a medical, agreeing personal terms and receiving international clearance to process the move. Our no.17 is scheduled to fly out to Istanbul on Saturday, in order to take his medical tests.
“The 30-year-old leaves so many positive memories from his time at Old Trafford, where he has been a hugely popular individual, both as a person and as a player.
“Everybody at the club would like to wish the very best of luck to Fred for the future, as we await confirmation that the Ԁєɑł is completed.”
The Brazilian’s future has been the subject of much speculation in recent months, with it becoming clear that he was not part of Erik ten Hag’s ρłɑɴs when he was not bɾօυɢҺt to the US for pre-season.
Fred had been strongly linked with a move to Fulham at the beginning of the summer. However, he is set to join Fenerbahce instead. It comes as an interesting turn of events because Galatasaray, at one stage, were thought to be the frontrunners to sign the Brazil international.
It doesn’t look like Fred will play for United again, so he will depart having made 213 appearances for the club, scoring 14 goals and registering 19 assists.
United will hope that Donny van de Beek follows him out the door before deadline day. It’s clear the Netherlands international has no future at Old Trafford.
