It is a bit outlandish as most of the headlines coming from News of the World usually are. But rumors of a possible summer move by English international Wayne Rooney to Barcelona were received with scratching heads and raised eyebrows.
No one is saying that if any team in the world had a shot at a player as talented as Rooney they would pass on him. But Catalan sports daily Sport came out to refute the British sensaionalist entity. "They place Rooney in Barcelona... for 95 million!"
The Catalans look at this bit ridiculous as the player has not shown an iota of interest regarding a departure from Old Trafford. This makes it more of a prefabricated story than anything else because the English say the decision lies in Rooney's hands now.
