Manchester United midfielder Fred is heading to Turkey after the club agreed a deal in principle with Fenerbahce.
Fred is set to leave Manchester United after a deal worth up to 15million euros was struck with Fenerbahce.
The 30-year-old midfielder moved to Old Trafford from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2018 and has made 213 appearances for the club.
Fred is now heading to Turkey to join Fenerbahce, who have agreed a deal in principle the PA news agency understands is worth an initial 10million euros (£8.6m), rising to a possible 15m euros (£12.9m).
The Brazil international, whose United contract was due to expire next summer, is flying out to Istanbul for a medical on Saturday.
A club statement read: "Manchester United can confirm an agreement in principle has been reached with Fenerbahce for the transfer of Fred.
"The Brazil international is set for a switch to the Turkish Super Lig, subject to a medical, agreeing personal terms and receiving international clearance to process the move.
"The 30-year-old leaves so many positive memories from his time at Old Trafford, where he has been a hugely popular individual, both as a person and as a player.
"Everybody at the club would like to wish the very best of luck to Fred for the future, as we await confirmation that the deal is completed."
