Galatasaray have raised their bid for Fred to £7 million

Galatasaray have raised their bid for Fred to £7 million.

The 30-year-old midfielder appears to be an expandable asset for the Red Devils and they are ready to cash in on him. According to a report from GazetaVatan, Galatasaray have opened negotiations to sign the player and they have now come forward with an improved offer to sign him.

Apparently, Manchester United value the player at €9 million and Galatasaray have already had an offer of around €6 million knocked back for the Brazilian. The Turkish outfit have now increased their offer to €7 million and it remains to be seen whether the two clubs can come to a compromise.

Fred’s potential move away from Old Trafford has been a subject of speculation throughout the summer transfer window. At 30, the midfielder seems to have become expendable for Manchester United, prompting them to consider cashing in on the player. Meanwhile, Galatasaray has taken the opportunity to initiate negotiations and has now increased their offer to lure Fred to Turkish football.

Initially, Manchester United had set a hefty price tag of £20 million for Fred’s departure. However, they have adjusted their valuation, with Galatasaray’s latest bid of £7 million being rejected. The English club remains insistent on their £10.4 million asking price, indicating their commitment to securing a favorable deal.

Manchester United have been linked with a number of midfielders in recent weeks and it will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds.

A move to Turkey could be ideal for the 30-year-old at this stage of his career. He has the technical attributes to thrive in Turkish football and he could be a key player for Galatasaray.
