Liverpool have no intention of pursuing a deal for Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini, according to the Daily Mail.
What’s the story?
The summer transfer window will soon be open, so right on cue, bizarre stories have emerged from the rumour mill.
One of which came from French publication L’Equipe, which stated that the Reds are interested in signing Fellaini this summer.
Jurgen Klopp could soon be looking for a new midfielder due to the uncertainty surrounding Emre Can’s future at Anfield.
L’Equipe claims that the Reds are willing to offer Fellaini a three-year deal once his contract expires at United this summer.
However, according to the Daily Mail, the Merseyside outfit will not be making a move for the 30-year-old.
Would it have been that crazy?
Players moving between Liverpool and United is certainly not favourable when it comes to the supporters due to the intense rivalry between the two clubs.
However, in this case, Fellaini is not hugely admired by all of United’s fanbase, which suggests that the controversy of a switch would eventually die down.
Signing the midfielder would have some benefits for Liverpool given that he would not cost a fee.
In addition, the Belgian would present another option for Klopp, particularly if Can leaves this summer.
Having said that, though, Fellaini does bring with him a negative edge, that some would see as dirty tactics.
