Wayne Rooney on Real Madrid's radar

Real Madrid are weighing up a move for Manchester United star striker Wayne Rooney in the summer.

Recent reports have suggested that the Red Devils could allow the sale of England international Wayne Rooney in the summer, if they were to secure the services of Chelsea playmaker Juan Mata for a club-record fee of £37m during the January transfer window.

Real Madrid are understood to be keen on pouncing on the uncertainty surrounding Rooney's future at Old Trafford by making a mega transfer offer at the end of the season.

Despite United's struggles, Rooney has been the club's standout performer this season, having notched up 9 goals in 16 Premier League games so far.
