Manchester United to use midfielder to fund Sofyan Amrabat deal, Moises Caicedo blow for Chelsea.
To raise money for a transfer of Moroccan World Cup standout Sofyan Amrabat, Manchester United has intensified its efforts to sell Fred.
Fred, 30, is one of the players manager Erik Ten Hag is willing to give up this summer, and United are aggressively pursuing negotiations with Turkish club Galatasaray for him.
Though a move to Turkey seems more likely, Fulham still has an interest in the Brazilian international, who United values at £20 million.
One of the highlights of Morocco’s journey to the World Cup semifinals at the end of the previous year was Fiorentina ace Amrabat.
The 26-year-old, according to reports on talkSPORT, is very interested in a move to Old Trafford.
Brighton is growing increasingly hopeful of keeping Moises Caicedo out of the clutches of Chelsea.
The Blues’ £70 million offer for Caicedo was turned down earlier this month, and they don’t seem eager to match Brighton owner Tony Bloom’s £ 100 million asking price.
Caicedo, a midfielder for Brighton, might decide to stay at the Amex Stadium past the summer.

Roberto De Zerbi, the manager of the Seagulls, has also been putting out a lot of effort behind the scenes to persuade Caicedo to remain and participate in Brighton’s inaugural European campaign.
The south coast team’s sixth-place result in the Premier League last year earned them a spot in the Europa League.
TalkSPORT has learned that Chelsea may attempt to sabotage Liverpool’s pursuit of Romeo Lavia if they are unable to reach an agreement on a Caicedo trade.
Everton takes a beating
Willy Gnonto, who Everton is interested in signing, might be about to give Leeds’ chances of returning to the Premier League a sudden boost.
As previously said in this column, Gnonto is at the top of Everton manager Sean Dyche’s list of summertime goals.
TalkSPORT is informed that Gnonto, 19, and his advisors are not entirely sold on moving to Goodison Park and that, depending on the other offers he receives, the Italian may decide to remain at Elland Road.
Everton has already begun compiling a list of potential replacements for Italian international Gnonto while communication is still open.
Tete, a standout for Shakhtar Donetsk who spent the second half of the previous season on loan at Leicester, is reportedly among them.
