Not the worst fee, would still be seeing if we could squeeze out an extra £2m.

That's a huge fee for Fener (though I suspect there's a lot of add ons in that sum) but they have had decent sales this year.

This could possibly happen.

There is a transfer war between Fenerbahce and Galatasaray. Since May Fener worked on Zaha and then suddenly out of nowhere Galatasaray bought him… then Fener focused all its resources on signing Tete and hi is now about to sign with Galatasaray.

On the other hand, Galatasaray has worked on the Fred transfer for some time and he is to cover a position they really need. Fener would with this transfer try to give something back to Galatasaray

In terms of transfer fee, €15m is a lot of money for a Turkish club but Fenerbahce has sold players for significant amounts this summer so they should have enough cash…

Plenty of PL clubs could use a Fred.
I agree.
Too many clubs are happy with just comfortably staying in the league and a lot aren’t incentives to try and get further up the league.
Fred would be unreal in a lot of sides who play compact and need a workhouse beside their sitting midfielder

I thought £15m would’ve been a fair price, but euros is close enough.

As hoping for £15m but £13m ain’t that bad considering his age and contract length.

£30m Maguire
£15m Elanga
£15m Fred
£4m Telles

If we can offload McTominay, Henderson and Donny and see at least £60-70m back for those three that’s an absolutely incredible window buying and selling. The best we’ve had for years

Henderson looks the unlikely one

Fred has been an enigma at United, many games where he can't seem to pass but with an extremely high ceiling on his day and NEVER stops trying for the team. I love the passion he shows and whatever happens to him, wish him well in the future. I don't get the fans who hate on him.
Totally agree, Fred has served this club well.

It's not often outgoings would overshadow the new arrivals at any club when reviewing their transfer activity, but bloody hell.

To get actual real, physical, human money for the likes of Maguire, Elanga, Fred, Donny etc. is sensational stuff.

Premier clubs could do with Fred, and yet west ham are looking to spend £30mil plus on McTominey when they could have Fred at the fraction of the price...

I can imagine he’ll be a total **** hero in Turkey if he indeed goes there. They’ll love a bit of Fred being everywhere. Of all the players up for sale he’s the last one I’d personally let go but a smart club that is trying to slowly bring the age and wages of the squad down wouldn’t be renewing him on a long deal or even at all so this makes sense.

I think he's worth more but its obvious the manager doesn't fancy him at all. €15m seems low but final year, 30 year old, might be best we can get

McTominay isn’t going anywhere

Looks like Romano has had a direct line to Fred's camp all summer. He was saying Fred was 100% leaving in June so I trust his updates here.
