Chelsea will have to spend £80m to land Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney. The package would include £28m committed to a transfer fee, with his five-year contract on £200,000-a-week wages costing £52m.
The Londoners are on red alert after the Rooney camp last night made it clear their man wants OUT of Old Trafford.
Blues boss Jose Mourinho is aware Rooney wants a five-year deal and £200,000 a week to leave the Premier League champs.
In addition to that £52m package, Chelsea would have to stump up £28m for his transfer fee.
Yesterday the Special One claimed Rooney needs to be assured of regular first-team football — or England’s World Cup hopes in Brazil will nosedive.
Rooney, 27, last night ripped into Old Trafford bosses, insisting he was “angry and confused” over comments by new gaffer David Moyes that he would play second fiddle to Dutch hitman Robin van Persie.
After Rooney returned from the club’s Far East tour with a hamstring injury, Moyes said he would be used as an understudy to high-scoring RVP.
At a Bangkok Press conference, Moyes said: “My thought on Wayne is that if for any reason we had an injury to Robin, we are going to need him.”
Mourinho says a Rooney who spends his time on the bench is no good to England chief Roy Hodgson.
The Chelsea boss said: “If Wayne is a second choice for Man United, the national team will be affected.”
