Fellaini has been linked with a move to Arsenal, and has stated few times his desire to play in the UEFA Champions League.

Everton chairman Bill Kenwright said: “I have to say he has given me every indication he doesn’t want to go.”

There also have been rumors that Leighton Baines could link up with David Moyes at Manchester United, but Baines still has two years left on his contract with the Toffee’s.

When asked if the England full-back will be offered a new deal, Kenwright said: “Absolutely right. That’s started; started in that he knows we want him to stay”

Even though newly appointed manager Roberto Martinez doesn’t want to lose Fellaini at the start of his tenure, he can be sure that any money raised from the Belgium’s sale will go back into his transfer pot.

Kenwright said of his discussions with Martinez: “He talked about a couple of new signings and he talked about the squad and asked ‘Do they need to go?’ ”

“I said ‘No, they absolutely do not have to go’ (although) there is one (Fellaini) that has a get-out which everyone knows.

“I said to (Roberto) ‘I can’t sit here and give you a line because we all know money is everything in football – this is the money we’ve got and I will try to improve on it.

“We are desperate to find new owners and new investment but he will get support from everyone at the club and all the financial support – and by that I mean if he sells someone he won’t get 80 per cent of that he’ll get 100 per cent.

“Plus he has a certain amount of money for the transfer window which David was going to have.”
