t's not often we start off our paper round-up with a rumour from the continent, but when the news in question is a £120 million bid for Wayne Rooney we'll make an exception.
You read that right: Spanish publication Sport claims that Paris St Germain will make the vast bid - equal to one and a half Cristiano Ronaldos - to bring in the striker from Manchester United.
The story claims that PSG's Qatari backers are sick of the difficulty they are having persuading the best players in the world to come to the club, so will make the move as a statement of intent that they will not rest until they are Champions League winners.
It might seem a daft idea initially, but the more you think about it the more it seems to make sense: when you think how many years Manchester City wasted spending £20 million here and there on the likes of Roque Santa Cruz and Emmanuel Adebayor, why not splurge properly in the first place even if it means paying massively over the odds?
