Real join battle for Fellaini

Real Madrid have lost interest in Man City's David Silva and will battle with Chelsea for Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini.

Real boss Jose Mourinho has been strongly linked with a move to take Silva back to Spain, where he previously starred for Valencia before moving to City, but reports claim he has now switched targets to Fellaini. The two players could not be more different but Mourinho has turned to the Belgium ace to add strength to his midfield and will now rival former club Chelsea for his signature. Everton are reluctant to sell but it is thought both clubs will be willing to pay £20million and that could be too much for Everton officials to turn down and it would also give David Moyes more scope to strengthen his own ranks. Chelsea want to team Fellaini up with international team-mate Eden Hazard in midfield something that would appeal to the player but so would a move to the Bernabeu if Everton decided to cash in.
