Marouane Fellaini to join Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer this summer

Paris, March 8: French giants Paris Saint-German are ready to lure away Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini with a big wage package as the Manchester United man's future in England looks to be over.

The Belgian accepted a further extension of his previous contract in this year's January when Manchester United activated the one-year option in the midfielder's contract. Now Fellaini's current contract is set to expire at the end of the season and with only three months remaining in the deal, the player has reportedly rejected a new contract proposal.

This has alerted some of the top clubs in Europe and seeing the possibility of acquiring the player on a free transfer PSG has reportedly joined the race.

But it appeared that Fellaini is understood to be unsatisfied with United's new offer and stalled the deal. United have a policy that if a player reaches his thirties, the board only offers the player an extension of one year and Fellaini and his agent are believed to be unhappy with such conditions as they reportedly want a long-term stay at Old Trafford.

On the other hand, According to reports, PSG have reportedly put forward a £100,000-a-week deal with a four-year contract which thoroughly surpasses the current £80,000-a-week he gains at United and seeing the situation the 30-year-old has apparently set the heart on for a move in the Summer.

PSG have already acquired the service of Lassana Diarra as a free transfer in the winter window but with Thiago Motta approaching at the final stage of his Paris career, the French giant have reportedly targetted the Belgian as his potential replacement.

Fellaini has spent five seasons at United after arriving in September 2013 from Everton under Moyes and has made 149 appearances for the Red Devils, winning one FA Cup, One EFL Cup and Europa League title with them.

The player is currently out injured with a ligament injury and has played 16 matches so far this season, scoring four, assisting once.
