'It's impossible to buy him': Ancelotti plays down Rooney's PSG link

We could be in for a long summer.

PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN coach Carlo Ancelotti believes it would be out of the question to tempt Manchester United idol Wayne Rooney into signing for the Ligue 1 leaders.

“Rooney is one of the best strikers in the world but I think it’s impossible to buy him, he’s an idol at Manchester United,” the Italian told a press conference on Tuesday.

Ancelotti was offering his opinion in the wake of speculation that Rooney could be on his way to France next season.

French TV owner Michel Moulin, a former advisor to the Parisian giants, was confident of a move on Sunday evening and declared: “Rooney to PSG is done.”

But those reports were countered in England this morning with the Telegraph dismissing the rumours and reporting that Rooney will focus instead on signing a new contract which would see him remain at Old Trafford for the foreseeable future.
