The Spanish giants will make a staggering
£150MILLION raid for Rooney, offering Manchester
United £90m for their prize asset and the player £250,000 a week
for five years. And they are determined to go back for
highly-regarded ex-boss Capello after the World Cup.
Capello has managed Real twice before, winning La Liga
on both occasions. He is tied to England until 2012 but Real
president Florentino Perez is no respecter of contracts.
Perez has a record of getting his man - as United will
testify, losing David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo to Madrid.
Rooney, 24, and in the form of his life with 34 goals
this term, has still not committed to a new contract and has only
two years left on his deal.
Real will tempt him with a five-year offer worth £60m,
matching Ronaldo and way beyond United's strict wage structure.
Perez is driven by the thought of restoring Rooney's
devastating partnership with Ronaldo - under the no-nonsense
leadership Capello brings.
Capello has hinted he could leave England when his
contract with expires. The Italian said: "I like new
situations. I won't close any door."
And the different tax laws in the two countries means
United would have to find an extra 25 per cent on top of anything
Real offer Rooney.
In this country he will be taxed at 50 per cent but a
move to Spain will cost him just 25 per cent.
