Monaco have joined the race to sign Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini according to Belgium publication La Dernière Heure.

Per the source, the Ligue 1 outfit have contacted Fellaini and his representatives over a summer move.

The report also states that reigning Super Lig champions Besiktas are also reported to be interested in his services.

The Belgium international has just a few months remaining on his current contract but has yet to sign a new contract deal.

Fellaini will be a free agent at the end of the season unless he signs an extension.

United manager Jose Mourinho meanwhile has grown frustrated with the situation and has included Fellaini among the six players he wants rid of over the summer – despite previously wanting him to stay.

The Manchester Evening News listed Michael Carrick, Matteo Darmian, Andreas Pereira, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marouane Fellaini as being on the exit list.

Per the source, Mourinho has already informed executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward regarding his plans and who he hopes to replace the players with.

Galatasaray meanwhile, have made Fellaini a transfer priority as reported by Turkish-Football.

The Lions did make Fellaini an offer over the summer but Mourinho publically ruled out any chance of the Belgium international leaving over the summer.

“It’s easier for Galatasaray to get me than to get Maroaune,” Mourinho said.

“Forget it. He’s too important to me.”

The Istanbul giants have been keeping close tabs on Fellaini and holding talks with his representatives throughout the season.
