Loads of ITK's are reporting it, which means it's not happening.

I don't think this really matters. Fellaini seems to want to go to Chelsea (hopefully has more class then to want to go to City) and, although they seem interested in him at the moment, they won't buy him until the summer. In fact, if Abramovich still has thoughts of bringing in Pep Guardiola (following yesterday's announcement by Pep that we wants to get back into management) then Chelsea won't waste money buying big name players now as they'll have to save up to buy Iniesta and Messi for the new manager. I'm not sure that Fellaini is the type of player that Guardiola would go for, but I could be wrong.

More than any footballer Chelsea want Guardiola as manager.Benitez is hoping to covince the owner that he is the right man for the job,but the fans dislike of him makes that appointment even more unlikely.
I think that it is unlikely that Chelsea will buy a player like Fellaini for up to 30m without the approval of the new manager.They have made that mistake too often.
I think Fellaini intends leaving in the summer.We will have to wait and see how many clubs are interested and how many of those could afford the release clause.
Who pays agents fees etc if the release clause is activated ? are the costs taken from the fee or is the release clause paid to the selling club and costs then borne by the buying club,that would be a very important factor in a deal such as this.I would imagine that loyalty bonuses will not apply as the player is chosing to leave rather than the club deciding to sell.

Guardiola isn't going to Chelsea though, Abramovich is going to have the shock of his life when the only people in the market are Benitez, Pardew & Di Matteo
And with that, can we knock this sh*t on the head until June at least?
Haha, I would love that! Although, to be fair, I think Di Matteo will be a good manager if given time to settle a team in.
