West Ham United could now reportedly get the chance to sign Fred from Premier League rivals Manchester United.

Earlier this month, 90Min reporter Graeme Bailey said on the Talking Transfers podcast that West Ham United are interested in signing Manchester United midfielder Fred in the summer transfer window.

The journalist claimed that West Ham have ‘sniffed’ around Fred.

The Hammers are looking at the £120,000-a-week (Spotrac) midfielder as a potential replacement for Declan Rice, who joined Arsenal this summer.

Fabrizio Romano is now reporting on Twitter that Fred will leave Manchester United in the summer transfer window.

The Italian journalist has claimed that the expectation is for the 30-year-old Brazil international midfielder to leave the Red Devils.

Fulham and clubs in Saudi Arabia are interested in the 30-year-old, according to Romano.

West Ham United could be able to sign Fred from Manchester United

We believe that West Ham United could be able to sign Fred from Manchester United in the summer transfer window.

The Hammers are a big and established club in the Premier League that won the UEFA Europa Conference League last season.

West Ham will play in the UEFA Europa League next season.

David Moyes’s side could also challenge for a top-eight place in the Premier League table next season.

It is hard to see Manchester United demanding a big fee for Fred this summer, so West Ham should not have to worry too much about the cost of a potential transfer.

The Brazilian made 12 starts and 23 substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Red Devils last season.

Fred scored two goals and gave two assists in those games.

The Brazilian also made six starts and three substitute appearances in the UEFA Europa League for Erik ten Hag’s side last season.

Fred scored one goal and gave one assist in those matches.

The midfielder has made 139 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.

Fred has scored eight goals and given seven assists in those matches.
