The Brazil international has entered the final year of his contract with United, and the club have decided to offload him.

It was initially anticipated that they could get £20m for him amid interest from Fulham , but they are looking elsewhere.

Hence, United have had no choice but to lower their asking price.

According to Corriere dello Sport, United are now looking for just £13m to part ways with the 30-year-old this summer.

Galatasaray are leading the race to sign him at the moment, but they are yet to meet the price. They have offered £7m.

Lazio were recently fancied to join the pursuit, but manager Maurizio Sarri has made it clear that he does not want him.

Fred only has one option for now. Saudi clubs have cooled their interest to focus on more high-profile players in the market.
