Everton are tracking Brazilian central midfielder Fred who currently plays for Fenerbahce.
Moyes’ Everton Targets Midfield Fix with Fred in the Frame
Everton are reportedly hoping to strike a deal for former Manchester United midfielder Fred to join the club. He is currently at Turkish team Fenerbahce. As per Turkish outlet Takvim, talks are likely to gather pace soon. David Moyes’s side is eager to bolster his midfield this summer. And Fred might be an ideal fit.
The 32-year-old has become a key player in Istanbul after leaving Man Utd in 2023 for around €9.74m. He has bounced back in style in the Super Lig. His experience and energy have caught the Toffee’s eye. That is especially after the team is in need of more control in the middle of the park.
Moyes has a thing for valuing seasoned pros. He sees Fred as someone who can bring balance and leadership.
Fenerbahce Open to Sale as Everton Weigh Up Price Tag
Fred still has a contract with Fenerbahçe until 2027. But, reports suggest the Turkish side might be open to selling, especially as they chase **Tottenham**’s Yves Bissouma. The asking price is likely to be around €18m (£15.2m). This is a big number for Everton keeping in mind their Financial Fair Play concerns.
Fred’s age and the possible extension of Idrissa Gana Gueye’s deal could lead to second thoughts. Though his recent form may tip the scales. Everton fans haven’t had much transfer excitement lately, but chasing someone with Fred’s pedigree could signal intent.
His time at the Old Trafford was mixed. He brings grit, pace, and smart ball movement. These are the things Everton have lacked over the past few seasons. The Toffees are going to have a busy summer transfer window this time. Now, Fred stands out as a decent option if the price is right and talks go smoothly.
