Fred, the Brazilian midfielder, has left Fenerbahce to continue his career back home with Atletico Mineiro, according to insider Fabrizio Romano.
The transfer was finalized today through negotiations between Fred’s agent, Marcelo Pettinati, and Atletico’s CEO Paulo Bracks. Fenerbahce will receive a transfer fee of 2 million euros, with an additional 500,000 euros in potential bonuses.
