Manchester City seriously intends to get Fred from Shakhtar, writes Telegraph.
It is reported that the "miners" do not intend to sell the Brazilian in the middle of the season, but may become more compliant in the summer.
It is expected that the "citizens" will leave Yaya Toure, and Fred may become a substitute for the experienced Ivorian.
It is believed that now the price of Fred is about 40 million pounds and can grow, due to interest from the Manchester United, Arsenal and other clubs.
Manchester City expects to get Fred before the start of the 2018 World Cup.
In the current season, Fred spent 24 matches and scored 2 goals in all tournaments for Shakhtar.
It was previously reported that Mourinho is personally interested in Frede.
