Chelsea do not have a Plan B should Wayne Rooney not join the club. The Daily Star reported that that Rooney is the only name on Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea transfer target list for this summer. However, when Mourinho was asked last week if Rooney is the only player he is looking to boost his squad with this summer, he replied “Yes”, which confirmed this.
Chelsea have already seen a £22m bid for Rooney turned down by United and there has been some speculation that a second bid could be as much as a month away. The Blues will be travelling to Old Trafford on 26 August to face United in a Premier League game and a deal could be done after that match, in the final week of the transfer window.
Meanwhile, speculation over Rooney’s future reached new heights after a tweet from the wife of the England international.
“Lovely surprise @WayneRooney,” Coleen Rooney wrote. Speculation followed after fans suggested Rooney had bought the couple a mansion in Surrey prior to a move to Chelsea. There is no word yet as to the actual nature of Wayne’s surprise for his wife.
