Manchester City consider move for Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Fred?

Manchester City are reportedly interested in adding Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Fred to their squad in the summer.

Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Fred has reportedly emerged as a summer transfer target for Manchester City.

Manager Pep Guardiola has witnessed his side establish a 13-point lead at the top of the Premier League standings, but it appears that the Spaniard is already eyeing up ways to strengthen his squad ahead of next season.

According to the Daily Mail, Guardiola is interested in adding Fred to his midfield ranks ahead of the likely departure of Yaya Toure.

Fernandinho has starred in the centre of the park during the current campaign, but Guardiola requires more competition for the position and Brazilian international Fred could fit the bill.

The 24-year-old has been at Shakhtar since 2013, and recently starred for the Ukrainian club as they recorded a 2-1 victory over City in the Champions League.
