terra.com.br (Portuguese) —

Atlético-MG midfielder Fred revealed that Palmeiras president Leila Pereira tried to sign him, but he refused the offer to return to his former club. The player prioritized a move back to Belo Horizonte over the São Paulo side. Fred said his agent, a Palmeiras fan from São Paulo, presented the proposal while he was at Fenerbahçe, but he immediately rejected it. He also had interest from Qatar with a better financial offer, yet chose Atlético-MG after over a decade abroad. The 33-year-old joined in August for €2 million plus €500,000 in bonuses, with a contract until 2029. He has since played eight matches, scoring one goal and providing three assists.
