Man United agree to sell star man to Besiktas for £8m fund Fred deal

Manchester United have agreed to sell Marouane Fellaini to Besiktas for £8 million according to the Mirror.

Per the source, the reigning Turkish champions have struck a deal with Fellaini.

The transfer would pave to way for United to sign Jose Mourinho target Fred.

Mourinho has been told he must sell players to make way for new transfers.

The Brazilian midfielder has been at Shakhtar Donetsk for the past four-years scoring 12 goals and providing 11 assists in 135 games.

Talks between Fellaini’s representatives and Besiktas are nothing new.

Besiktas club press officer Metin Albayrak confirmed interest in Fellaini and revealed that he has been scouted.

“Transfer plans never end, we are always working,” Albayrak was quoted by Turkish-Football as saying: 

“Fellaini is on our list, we have made efforts to sign him but not just him.”

The Black Eagles have been holding regular talks with the Belgium international’s agent in England, France and Turkey.

Turkish-Football also recently reported that Fellaini is demanding €4 million (£3.5m) per-season and a €5 million (£4.4m) sign on fee.

Our sources close to Besiktas still maintain that the club are keen on signing the Belgium international for free or for a fee lower than being quoted in the media.

Fellaini has under 12 months remaining on his contract and has yet to sign a contract extension.

Besiktas can enter direct talks with Fellaini in January but is appears United want a transfer fee if the Eagles want him over the winter transfer window.

The Eagles have won the league title for the past two seasons and are currently first in the Champions League Group G.

Fellaini will be cup tied in the Champions League if he were to join the Istanbul giants over the winter transfer window.
