Man Utd & Chelsea Among Clubs Expressing Interest In Belgian

Despite the transfer window now being closed there will still be plenty of gossip doing the rounds in the newspapers, so we’ll keep you up-to-date with the latest transfer rumours. Today, interest in Marounae Fellaini is mounting.

Everton look set for a summer fight to keep hold of Marouane Fellaini with Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City and Real Madrid among the clubs who’ve expressed an interest in the Belgian midfielder, according to the Daily Mail.

Fellaini moved to Everton from Standard Liege in 2008 and has been a huge hit on Merseyside, scoring 31 goals in 163 appearances for the Toffees during his time at the club so far.

However, the Mail claim the Belgian international wants to play in the Champions League next season and with Everton currently 7 points off fourth-placed Chelsea, David Moyes’ side look set to miss out on a top-four finish and will therefore have a fight on their hands to keep hold of Fellaini this summer.

The report suggests the 25-year-old is firmly on the radar of Chelsea and Madrid while both Manchester clubs are also understood to have identified him as a target, and while Everton have denied talk of a £24m release clause, they may be forced to cash in this summer with the club needing to sell a valuable asset to ease their financial worries.

Last summer Jack Rodwell was sold to Manchester City and it seems Fellaini could be the next player to go through the Goodison Park exit door and it appears there are no shortage of takers. The Mail also suggest that Fellaini has been made aware of the increasing interest in him and is keen to explore his options at the end of the season.
