Marouane Fellaini is planning to return to Europe in the summer, more than two years after joining Shandong Luneng from Manchester United.
Earlier this month, we relayed news from Belgium that José Mourinho was eyeing a reunion with his former midfielder at Tottenham Hotspur.
It was also explained the Chinese side were ready to sanction the 33-year-old’s sale in the next market.
Voetbal24 now claim the Belgian ‘could count on’ the north London club’s interest before this week, but a potential move isn’t on the cards now.
Spurs showed the exit door to Mourinho and his coaching staff on Monday and appointed Ryan Mason as their interim manager until the end of this campaign.
It’s claimed the Premier League side’s management are unlikely to push for the former Everton man’s signing following the Portuguese tactician’s departure.
In other words, with Mourinho’s exit, Fellaini’s chances of joining Spurs have disappeared. The player will now have to look for a new destination, if and when he decides to return to Europe.
Tottenham ruling out the possibility of Fellaini’s arrival may be welcomed by a large section of their supporters.
