Fans of Liverpool, Manchester United and even Everton collectively raised their eyebrows on Monday morning after waking up to a report from France claiming that Marouane Fellaini had been offered a three-year contract by the Reds.
United's towering midfielder is a free agent this summer, after having turned down a contract extension at Old Trafford and while he has been linked with a host of European clubs from Galatasaray to Monaco to Roma, it was L'Equipe suggesting that Liverpool had joined the race which (not unexpectedly) garnered the most attention.
The report, which also cited Paris Saint-Germain's interest in the 30-year-old Belgian, claimed Liverpool are preparing a three-year contract offer for the former Everton man.
