Jose Mourinho Says Marouane Fellaini Is ‘Almost There’ On New Man United Contract.
Jose Mourinho has told reporters that he hopes Marouane Fellaini will extend his stay at Old Trafford beyond the summer, as speculation surrounding the Belgian’s future talk holds up.
The tall midfielder rejected a new deal at Old Trafford at the start of the season, and has since been linked with moves all over Europe, with the likes of rival club Liverpool even being linked with Fellaini at one point.
Mourinho said:
“We are almost there but I can’t celebrate because almost is not enough, I want to see the white paper with the United crest and Ed Woodward and Marouane Fellaini’s signatures.
“I think a player that grabs the crest after scoring is telling clearly that he wants to stay. I want him to stay, the club wants him to stay, I think he will stay.
“We are trying to think about our team, little touches, little replacements – a Michael Carrick replacement, this kind of situation – but until now I didn’t lose one second thinking about a Marouane replacement.”
