According to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, Galatasaray have approached Manchester United to start negotiations to sign Fred. The Turkish club reportedly submitted an initial offer, but it was rejected by the Red Devils as the transfer fee didn’t match their expectations.
Fred, the 30-year-old Brazilian midfielder, looks set to leave Manchester United this summer. Saudi teams, Fulham and other Premier League clubs are also said to be interested in the player.
According to reports, Galatasaray are the first club to have made a concrete offer for Fred. However, the exact details of this offer have not yet been disclosed.
Fred’s contract with Manchester United comes to an end next year, heightening rumors surrounding his impending departure. The player recently changed agents in a bid to facilitate a potential transfer.
