£40m Chelsea transfer could mark exit for Man United star

Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini has been closely linked with a summer move this weekend.

Fellaini did travel with the United squad to Oslo, Norway for the friendly against Valerenga.

The Belgium international scored the opening goal in the 3-0 victory. Galatasaray are however, still confident of their chances to sign the 29-year-old.

The Red Devils are on the verge of signing Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic for £40 million according to the BBC.

Matic would be likely to move ahead of Fellaini in the pecking order. If the Belgium international were to leave, United will already have a replacement – if the Matic deal goes ahead as planned.

Per the source, the Red Devils are bringing Matic in as a replacement for the powerful midfielder.

A source close to Galatasaray told Turkish-Football that a club official held further negotiations with Fellaini’s representatives last evening.

The Lions are expected to send a board member to Manchester by Tuesday latest to negotiate terms with the Red Devils.

Galatasaray have reached an agreement-in-principle with Fellaini’s representatives.

The powerful midfielder will sign a four-year contract worth €4 million – not including bonuses – if a deal between the clubs is struck.
