Shakhtar President Rinat Akhmetov told how ready he is to let Fred go to another club.

About Fred - you know that we had negotiations with Manchester City in the winter, and there was an official proposal - this is a very large figure.

- What?.

- Large. Somewhere in the region of 50 million euros we were offered for Fred. And we had the strength to refuse, because we played in the Champions League, we finished the championship of Ukraine and, in principle, we won the championship, we won the Cup - the decision is our right. And I am convinced that we will receive and receive proposals no less interesting than from Manchester City. Perhaps Fred will leave in the summer. And he deserves it. This is a very high-quality player who did a lot for our club. We are also grateful to him. If there is a decent offer and the clubs agree, the player will make a decision, we will give Fred an opportunity to try his hand at the best championship. But, at the same time, every transfer must make Shakhtar stronger. Players must leave, and Shakhtar must become stronger.

- But you never said a figure for which you would be ready to let go of the player ... - We will receive exactly as much as it costs. We can not get a dollar if the footballer costs 50 cents. We do not want to sell for 50 cents, if the footballer costs a dollar.

It will be a market price, it will be a fair price, and it will be beneficial for the club that will invite Fred to himself, and for us. That is, I somehow feel that Fred will be more expensive than Fernandinho and more expensive than Teixeira.

Earlier it was reported that Barcelona is interested in the services of Fred.
