Transfer rumours and paper review with Matt Scott – Thursday, March 7

Here is all of Thursday’s transfer gossip and paper talk...

Manchester United are ready to cash in on Wayne Rooney this summer. Rooney’s omission from United’s starting line-up against Real Madrid has signalled the beginning of the end of his Old Trafford career. (Daily Mirror)

And Sir Alex Ferguson is willing to sell Rooney for £25million - half what he would have expected for the England star a year ago. (The Sun)

But Manchester City, who were keen to sign Rooney in 2007, have no desire to revive their interest in the 27-year-old, with the player's reputed £300,000-a-week salary pricing them out of the market. (Guardian)

Manchester City are keeping tabs on Arsenal full-back Carl Jenkinson. City are committed to buying the best young English talent, and may consider an approach if the promising 21-year-old becomes available. (Daily Mirror)

City are also tracking Crystal Palace’s latest rising star Jonathan Williams. (Daily Star)

Arsenal’s Thomas Vermaelen and Liverpool star Daniel Agger are on Barcelona’s wish-list. The Spanish giants want a centre-back who fits their style of building attacks from the back. (The Sun)

Tottenham are drawing up a 'double your money' £8million-a-year deal in a bid to keep Gareth Bale from the clutches of Europe's elite. (Daily Mail)
