BARCELONA PLAN £85M BID FOR ROONEY
United striker holds key to Nou Camp deal
BARCA TARGET: Rooney is wanted in SpainBARCELONA want to make Wayne Rooney the world's most expensive footballer. The Spanish and European champions are lining up an incredible £85million summer swoop for the Manchester United striker.
The Nou Camp club have identified the 24-year-old as the star of the next World Cup and have already put plans in motion to trump Real Madrid's capture of Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Catalan giants believe United's massive debts mean they're under increasing pressure to consider bids for all their top players.
United's failure to pump the funds from Ronaldo's £80m sale back into the squad has provided a reminder the Old Trafford's club's finances are in a mess. But as in the case of Ronaldo, Rooney himself will hold the key to any successful bid from the Nou Camp.
The Scouser has never expressed a desire to move abroad and with wife Coleen just having given birth to their first child, Barca's bid will give him a huge dilemma.
United had no choice but to surrender to Ronaldo's desire to go to the Bernabeu, but Sir Alex Ferguson will be hoping Rooney is less inclined to leave.
The England forward is now seen as the focal point of the United team and Fergie would fight even harder to keep Rooney than he did Ronaldo.
Rooney suggested this week he wanted to stay at Old Trafford for life. However, the prospect of joining up with the likes of Lionel Messi, Xavi and Iniesta under manager Pep Guardiola is sure to be tempting.
