Top 5 strikers on the move

SSC Napoli v S.S. Lazio - Serie A

3. Wayne Rooney

Swansea City v Manchester United - Premier League

The England international had reportedly given a verbal transfer request before the end of the previous season to the then United manager Sir Alex Ferguson. He had fallen out with Sir Alex after being played in the midfield several times rather than his preferred attacking role, resulting in poor performances. As a result, he slipped down the pecking order after the arrival of free scoring Robin Van Persie from Arsenal.

After his announcement, clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, Real Madrid and PSG have shown their interest in the striker. He had a below par last season where he only managed to score 16 goals and had 13 assists in 37 matches for the Red Devils.

This probably will be the most tedious transfer amongst all the rest as, despite Rooney making his intentions clear to leave, he could still end up staying at Old Trafford. Moreover, Rooney has also stated his intentions to stay in England which would make Chelsea and Arsenal the favorites to sign him if he decides to leave, but Real Madrid will be too temping to ignore as well.

Chances of Transfer Taking Place

60% – With Arsenal looking to find a partner for their new to-be striker Higuain, this could be the perfect opportunity to get back at their rivals Man Utd by doing exactly the same thing what they did to the North London club last season by signing Robin Van Persie.
