Mourinho’s first-choice transfer target...Chelsea will offer Rooney £240,000-a-week in £60m mega deal to lure him from ManUnt Chelsea will match Wayne Rooney’s £240,000- a-week wages in a five-year deal worth a staggering £60million, if he can force his way out of Manchester United. Rooney is Jose Mourinho’s first-choice transfer target and the Chelsea chief has been encouraged that he can still land the striker this summer. Although Rooney was told by David Moyes last week that he will not be allowed to leave United, there are issues which remain unresolved. Rooney, who has two years left on his Old Trafford deal, is showing no sign of backing down and Chelsea want to take advantage. He will cost about £30m if United can be persuaded to sell, but that will not be an issue for Chelsea. Mourinho, who took charge of first-team training yesterday for the first time after the summer break, wants to give Rooney a fresh start at Stamford Bridge. Mourinho is also monitoring Luis Suarez’s position at Liverpool and has asked his advisors to be kept informed about his position.
