Fred's Future in Doubt as Fenerbahce Pursues N'Golo Kante

Fenerbahce is reportedly close to signing N'Golo Kante from Al Ittihad, which casts doubt on Fred's future with the club. Kante's arrival will reshape the midfield, and Fred is expected to seek a new team. Olympiacos has been linked with the Brazilian midfielder, but his high salary (5 million euros per year) poses a significant obstacle to the transfer, as it could disrupt the balance within the dressing room. The situation remains fluid, and the final outcome of Fred's transfer is uncertain.
