Mason Mount’s recent transfer from Chelsea has raised serious concerns about Fred’s future at the team, and United is preparing to lose at least one midfielder this summer.
The 30-year-old, meanwhile, has drawn interest from Fulham and Galatasaray, and rumors have it that he may leave Old Trafford.
According to Romano, who also said that Fulham is “working” on a deal, the Turkish Super Lig team reportedly made a bid for the Brazilian earlier this month, but United rejected the offer because it was “below their expectations.”
After their match at Old Trafford last year, Fred was seen talking to Cottagers manager Marco Silva, which fueled rumours that he might transfer to Craven Cottage this summer.
But Galatasaray are still interested in signing Fred, despite their first failure to do so.
Romano, a transfer specialist, tweeted an update on Thursday: “Galatasaray remains interested in signing Fred as a priority goal, as stated two weeks ago.
This summer, Fred will leave Manchester United.
Fred acknowledged after the FA Cup final last month that it might have been his last match for the team. He replied, “I still don’t know,” with reference to his future. “I need to talk to my family,” you say.
I still have one year left on my contract here, he continued. It’s now the Christmas season, which is a fantastic time to unwind. I’ll consult my team and the club before making a decision.
As the manager, Erik Ten Hag must be included in the conversation, thus I must also speak with him. We must wait and watch how the following season develops.
“We’ll see. I want to be significant and contribute to the squad. However, I have always and still do like my time at Manchester United.
In preparation for a potential departure this summer, Fred, who joined the Old Trafford roster in 2018 for £47 million from Shakhtar Donetsk, has also changed agents.
