Neymar: It would be a dream to play with Wayne Rooney

Brazil’s Neymar wants Wayne Rooney to join Barcelona

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney, who had requested a transfer at the end of last season, has been subject to intense speculation linking him to top European clubs like Barcelona, Real Madrid and Chelsea.

Reports today claimed Rooney has held a secret meeting with United manager David Moyes and has told him that he will stay at Old Trafford if he gets a new deal similar to his current big-money terms.

But ahead of the Confederations Cup final, Brazil star and the new Camp Nou star, Neymar, wants Rooney to follow in him and move to Spanish giants Barcelona this summer.

According to SkySports, Neymar said: “The style of football Barcelona play and the level of the players we have – we are the perfect club for the top players to join.

“I have met Wayne on a few occasions and he seems a good guy but importantly, he is one of the players I admire most in the world.

“Wayne is one of the most gifted and technical players in the world.

“Of course he would improve Barcelona. He would improve any club in Europe. And on a personal level, it would be a dream to play with him.”
