  • Brazilian footballer Fred, who played 90 minutes in Fenerbahçe's first two official matches, might leave the club.
  • Fred has reportedly reached an agreement with Atletico Mineiro, but the Brazilian club is unwilling to pay a significant transfer fee.
  • The final decision on Fred's departure from Fenerbahçe now rests with club president Aziz Yıldırım.

Fred, the Brazilian midfielder who has featured prominently in Fenerbahçe's early season matches, faces an uncertain future with the Turkish club. Despite playing full 90-minute games in the team's first two official fixtures under new coach İsmail Kartal, reports suggest Fred could be on his way out.

According to ESPN, Fred has reached a comprehensive agreement with Brazilian club Atletico Mineiro. However, the transfer is complicated by Atletico Mineiro's reluctance to pay a substantial transfer fee for the player. This financial hurdle has led Fred's agent to engage in negotiations with Fenerbahçe for a contract termination.

The situation has now escalated to the highest level within Fenerbahçe. The ultimate decision regarding Fred's potential departure rests entirely with the club's president, Aziz Yıldırım. If Yıldırım approves the transfer, Fred's tenure with the Istanbul-based club will come to an end.
