Looking at some of the biggest teams in the world, who would want Rooney?

- Real Madrid
- Ronaldo, Higuain, di Maria, Benzema(debatable). He couldnt even slot in behind the striker, he wouldnt make that list either. Not to mention the massive amount of success Englishmen have enjoyed in La Liga.....

- Barcelona
- They simply wont pay and with Messi, Villa, Fabregas and Pedro they dont need to. And it goes without saying that he cant make the list to slot behind the striker either.

- Manchester City
- Possible. They seem set with Dzeko, Aguero and Tevez. He might make second or third on the list?

- Bayern Munich
- Well, Mario Gomez isnt even getting a consistent run of games thanks to Mandzukic, so I'd think Rooney would be third string striker and 3rd choice ACM.

- PSG
- This one seems most likely to me. He is unlikely to replace Ibra, but maybe Lavezzi? And he could probably slot in to the team in the ACM spot. That said, they may have the cash but can they comply with FFP if they pay for Rooney and then pay his wages? Unlikely.
