Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini has cast doubts on his long-term future at Goodison Park.The Belgian midfielder, in talks with the club aimed at securing a new contract on Merseyside, has indicated he could leave the Blues to pursue Champions League football.
Keeping the 23-year-old is one of manager David Moyes’ priorities, and it had been hoped he would agree to a lucrative extension of his current deal.
Moyes has a good relationship with the man he made the club’s record 15 million pound signing from Standard Liege three years ago.
Speaking in Belgium, where he continues his rehabilitation from the ankle injury that ended his season two months early, Fellaini told media 7sur7: “One thing is certain, I want to play in a team that wins trophies and play in the Champions League. Everton is a team of sub-top.”
For now, Fellaini, whose contract expires in two years, wants to remain in Merseyside despite interest from Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid.
The fans’ favourite added that he will not necessarily leave the Toffees this summer, suggesting he will wait to see whether Moyes can lead his side back into Europe before deciding on his future.
