Roo Camp - Barcelona are to fight Madrid and Chelsea for Wayne Rooney
Posted Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by The Sun
BARCELONA are ready to fight Real Madrid and Chelsea to take £25million Wayne Rooney to the Nou Camp.The Manchester United star, 27, is set for showdown talks with new Old Trafford boss David Moyes this week.
Alex Ferguson had said Rooney was not for sale after claiming the striker had asked for a transfer.
Top Barca sources told SunSport they are monitoring the situation and if United want to flog him they are ready to pounce.
An insider said: “Rooney is precisely the type of attacker that would fit perfectly into the system.
“Defence starts from the front at Barca and Rooney works harder than anyone.
"His first touch, movement, control and vision are phenomenal and if he comes on the market then the club are certain to try to sign him.”
Barca will most likely let go of David Villa with Tottenham in hot pursuit after Arsenal’s interest waned when they seemed favourites to land him in January.
They see £250,000-a- week Rooney as the ideal successor to Villa, 31.
