Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has become the latest man to join the list of people who have been urging Wayne Rooney to join their club this summer.

Wayne Rooney has been linked to a number of clubs following Sir Alex’s announcement that the striker has asked to leave the club for a second time in less than three years.

The 26-year-old Spaniard, who was a team-mate of Rooney at Manchester United for three years, has said that Rooney possesses all the qualities of a top class striker and he won’t have problems in adapting if the striker is to join the La Liga champions.

Gerard Pique is quoted by Mirror as saying: “I know he has what’s needed to be one of the three best players in the world. He’d fit well with Barcelona.”

Rooney has also been linked with a possible move to French giants Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea are also believed to be considering the option of adding Rooney to their squad.

Pique also believes that Wayne Rooney would be an ideal signing for the La Liga Champions as Rooney has the ability to perform in different positions up front.

“He can adapt to many positions. He’s best as the centre-forward, but we have even seen him on left or right side.”

“He is very versatile, strong, fast, has great technique. I don’t think he would have any problems adapting,” added Pique.
