Turkish source Fotomac reports that Manchester United midfielder Fred is nearing a move to Galatasaray.
The Brazilian star has faced difficulties in securing regular playing time at United, leading him to seek opportunities elsewhere.
A departure from Old Trafford seems suitable for him at this point in his career. Despite arriving in a £47 million deal, the 30-year-old has struggled to be consistent.
A move to Turkey with Galatasaray is seen as an ideal option for him to revitalize his career and find more consistent game time.

Moving to the Turkish league could potentially extend Fred’s career at the top level due to its perceived lower quality compared to other top European leagues.

The possibility of finalizing an agreement between Galatasaray and United is yet to be determined, but the Turkish club is in need of midfield reinforcements, making Fred a valuable target if the right price can be agreed upon.
The South American star has demonstrated his quality as a player, but his inconsistency has been a concern during his time at United.
A move to Turkey may provide him with an opportunity to improve his consistency and showcase his abilities more regularly.
The Red Devils’ recent links to midfielders like Sofyan Amrabat, further indicate that Fred’s position in the squad could be in jeopardy if he decides to stay at the club.
His potential move to Galatasaray could allow him more playing time and potentially revive his career while providing United with room to explore other midfield options.

It would be beneficial for both parties to part ways, as Fred’s departure from United would provide funds to strengthen the squad.
With their participation in the Champions League next season and ambitions to compete for the league title, the Red Devils require a deeper squad to rival top teams like Manchester City and Arsenal.
