Wayne Rooney not on our agenda: Bayern Munich

Wayne Rooney has been the subject of immense speculation after the 27-year-old submitted a request to be transferred, for the second time in less than three years.

The Manchester United forward was linked to a number of clubs, including Chelsea, Arsenal and Bayern Munich. However, if Rooney is really considering a move this summer, Bayern Munich can be struck off from the list after Matthias Sammer, who is Bayern’s sporting director, ruled out any interest in signing the Englishman.

Matthias Sammer said: “I don’t know what Rooney would bring to the Bundesliga. I can’t answer that. I can answer that we have great respect for Wayne Rooney but there has been no contact with him. There is no contact and he’s not on the agenda. No, no. Absolutely not.”

Bayern Munich, who are currently preparing for their third Champions League final in four years, have seemingly revitalized their club in recent times by developing the best available young players and Wayne Rooney might not exactly fit their plan.
