Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has been in touch with Brazil coach Tite to discuss Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Fred.
Fred was linked with a move to City in the January transfer window, with the player hinting he would be open to joining the Premier League leaders.
"A friend gave me the news saying that City and Guardiola were interested in me," Fred said. "I'm happy to be so well known in Europe."
"Fred? He's played a lot [for Shakhtar]," Tite said to UOL.
"He is good. In an exchange of cards, Guardiola asked me about him."
Fred was included in Tite's squad for November's World Cup qualifiers, but did not feature in games against Bolivia or Chile.
