Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger wants to sign Marouane Fellaini on a free transfer at the end of the season, the Express report.
Fellaini’s time at Old Trafford has had its ups and downs after joining for £27 million in 2013, but it is believed that the midfielder has turned down a new two-year deal, and will leave United at the end of the season when his current deal expires.
The news about Fellaini’s potential exit has alerted many clubs across Europe, including the Gunners, who are set to battle it out against other Premier League sides, Inter Milan and Besiktas who are all interested in the player’s services.
Senior sources at United have insisted they won’t sell the Belgian international in January and will allow the player, who turns 30 next week, to leave for nothing in the summer.
Wenger is hoping that Fellaini will not sign a pre-agreement contract with a European club in January, allowing him to persuade him on a move to London in the summer.
