After guiding Paris St Germain (PSG) to their first Ligue one title
in 14 years, Carlo Ancelotti is finally on his way to the Bernabeu and
will be keen on taking Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney along.
Wayne
Rooney will meet his former coach at Everton, David Moyes, when the
pair returns from holiday in the next few days, but should their talks
fall through; reports suggest that Real are interested in signing the
27-year-old, just like Chelsea and Arsenal.

Daily
mail reports that PSG coach Carlo Ancelotti is set to be confirmed as
the New Real Madrid coach on Monday as former Manchester United
center-back Laurent Blanc will takeover from the Italian at the Parc des
Princes Stadium.
Sport network owned and run by the same Qatari
Sports Investment company in charge of PSG, beIN Sport revealed that the
ex-France international and coach has agreed to sign a two-year deal
and will be formalised next week.

“An agreement was reached today (Saturday) between Paris St Germain
and Laurent Blanc for him to become the new coach of the capital club,” a
statement read.
“An agreement between the former coach of the
France team and PSG was reached for two years. It is planned that he
will sign the contract next week.”
Rooney has two years left in
his current contract at Old Trafford but is reported to be unhappy at
the Manchester club. He is believed to be interested in working with
Chelsea’s new manager Jose Mourinho, while Arsenal is also keen on the
England international as the second largest shareholder of the
north-London side, Alisher Usmanov, has backed the player to succeed at
the Emirates Stadium.
It all boils down to who can afford a fee of
£30m and match up his £250,000-a-week salary at United. Every finger
points to Chelsea and Real, also bearing in mind the £70m made available
to Arsene Wenger for the signing of top class players.
The
Gunners are said not to be discouraged by Rooney’s wage that represents a
paradigm shift in the club’s ‘socialist’ wage structure but the
prospect of playing outside Manchester for the first time in nine years,
the striker feels largely depends on United fans; who may be fed up
with his second transfer request in as many years.
By the time Ancelotti will have been confirmed as Real coach, he will be
handed a long list that should have Gareth Bale, Luis Suarez, Edinson
Cavani and now Rooney.
