Paris Saint-Germain
It’s not too far (around five hour’s journey on the train from the north of England), but if that’s too long, he could always board a plane. He would certainly get more time on the ball in Ligue 1, but would someone like Rooney put up with the histrionics that the big headed (and big nosed) Zlatan Ibrahimovich conjures up?
Real Madrid
See Barcelona.
Aside from Barcelona and Bayern Munich, there’s not many clubs at the present time that would be a step up from Manchester United. Real Madrid, with their nine European Cup wins, could be deemed so, but until Jose Mourinho joined the club in the summer of 2010, they had failed to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League in six successive seasons immediately prior to his appointment.
Paris Saint-Germain, with their sudden influx of economic resources, are making a name for themselves by winning Ligue 1 and reaching the Champions League quarter-finals after a 17 year absence, but they haven’t been doing the business long enough to be considered the European heavyweight that Rooney presumably craves.
Borussia Dortmund haven’t been mentioned as frequently as the others and have been a joy, but they’re losing their star players and might not be worth the hassle to uproot for. There’s a new beginning at Arsenal, what with their supposedly new liberality with money, but they have been nowhere near Manchester United in terms of trophies and league points for years, so they could also prove a risk.
Chelsea continue to win silverware and now, under the guidance of Mourinho who wins wherever he goes including the Blues’ first title in 50 years in 2005, they could prove a safer bet than United and the Gunners to get hold of the Premiership crown this coming season. Unless Rooney can come to an arrangement with David Moyes where he can stay, be happy in his position and be as effective on the pitch as he has been for much of his career, teaming up with Jose’s army could be the solution to his problems.
