According to reports, FRED will soon make his Premier League comeback.
The midfield player joined Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahce in the summer after leaving Manchester United.
In a £13 million deal, Fred, 30, signed a four-year contract with a one-year option to stay with the Turkish team.
Though he has just made 13 appearances for the team, he has already been connected to a Premier League comeback.
Newcastle is reportedly keen to sign the midfield player in January, according to Fotomac.
This can be attributed to Sandro Tonali’s ten-month ban for breaking betting regulations.
In order to cover for the Italian while he serves his suspension, the Magpies will be looking to add another midfield player.
Fred, who played in the Premier League 139 times for Manchester United, would provide Eddie Howe with a wealth of experience.
In 2018, the Brazilian made the £47 million transfer from Shakhtar Donetsk to Old Trafford.
Given that Fred has established himself as a vital member of Fenerbahce, signing him could prove to be challenging for Newcastle.
His team’s explosive start to the season has been aided by his five assists thus far.
In addition to winning all three of their Conference League group matches, the Yellow Canaries have won all nine of their Super Lig contests.
In the event that a deal for Fred doesn’t work out, the article does state that Newcastle has three other names on its list.
