Man Utd ace Fellaini agrees four-year Galatasaray contract: Move within 48 hours - report

The Turkish club confirmed yesterday they are in talks to sign the Belgium international.

And Jose Mourinho looks ready to offload the 29-year-old as he brings in reinforcements in midfield.

Nemanja Matic is close to joining from Chelsea, which would allow Fellaini to move on.

The ex-Everton man has been at Old Trafford since 2013, having signed for £27.5million.

While United are not set to recoup that fee from Galatasaray, they will free up around £80,000 a week in their wage bill.

According to The Guardian, an agreement between Galatasaray and Fellaini has been reached in principle over a four-year contract.

The midfielder has just one year remaining on his Manchester United contract.

And he is now set to receive £3.6m a year in Turkey, which works out to about £70,000 a week.

The Guardian add Galatasaray president Dursun Ozbek, or another board member, are due in Manchester tomorrow or Tuesday to finalise a transfer.

Fellaini has flown to Norway with the United squad ahead of their pre-season friendly with Valerenga.

However, a move appears imminent which will see him become Galatasaray’s highest-paid player following the departure of Wesley Sneijder.

The club are now confident of securing Fellaini and are also in talks with Manchester City midfielder Fernando.
