CHELSEA
THIS would depend on who takes over from current interim manager Rafa Benitez in the summer. But billionaire owner Roman Abramovich would surely love to see a strike pairing of Rooney and Fernando Torres. Rooney could be just the spark to re-ignite the Spaniard’s faltering career.
MAN CITY
MONEYBAGS City could easily offer Rooney more money and the chance of competing for all the major trophies at home and in Europe. Rooney would not even have to move house but would face an enormous backlash from United fans. They would hate him for signing for their bitter rivals.
PSG
THE French club became one of the richest in the world after last year’s takeover by the Qatar Investment Authority. PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has promised to invest £100m in the transfer market and the chance to play alongside Zlatan Ibrahimovic and possibly David Beckham would appeal.
REAL MADRID
A SWITCH to United’s Champions League conquerors could help swing a move back to Old Trafford for Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. David Beckham was famously sold to Real after his bust-up with United manager Alex Ferguson and Rooney could follow the same path.
A MAKHACHKALA
RUSSIAN club is funded by billionaire Suleyman Kerimov — who is ranked by Forbes as the 118th richest man in the world. He has a personal fortune of £4.9billion so Rooney would have no trouble vastly increasing his salary. Learning the language might prove to be a problem though.
