Transfer news: Chelsea need £80m to get Rooney

Chelsea will have to cough up £80 million to grab Wayne Rooney from Manchester United, The Sun reports.

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.
