Newcastle United Eyes Former Manchester United Star for Premier League Return
Newcastle United is reportedly eyeing a move to bring Brazilian midfielder Fred back to the Premier League, according to a recent report from Fotomac. The 30-year-old midfielder, who currently plies his trade with Fenerbahce, has emerged as a target for the English club.
Fred’s stint with Fenerbahce this season has seen him establish himself as a pivotal figure within the Turkish outfit. His consistent and noteworthy performances have not gone unnoticed, and this has prompted Newcastle United’s interest in securing his services as a potential replacement for the unavailable Sandro Tonali.
The Italian international midfielder, Tonali, has recently been handed a 10-month suspension due to his involvement in an illegal betting scandal, leaving Newcastle in need of high-quality reinforcements. Fred has emerged as a prime candidate for a short-term solution to this issue.
It remains to be seen whether Fred, who once graced the Premier League with Manchester United, is keen on making a return in January. As per the report, Newcastle is prepared to present an offer as soon as the transfer window reopens.
Finances are not a significant hurdle for Newcastle United, but the player’s consent is vital. Fred’s move to Fenerbahce was driven by a desire for regular playing time, which was elusive during his time at Old Trafford. Consequently, Newcastle may need to assure him of ample game time to finalize the transfer.
