SPORTS: Chelsea Baits Wayne Rooney For 25million Pounds.

It is no longer news that Chelsea's "returnee manager" Jose Mourinho is knee on having Manchester united's international Wayne Rooneyon his starting line up for next season. Well he may be close to getting what he wants as it has been officially confirmed that Chelsea has made a 25million pounds bid for the star, an offer which manchester utd has found irresistable as they (Manchester United) have wasted no time in using the money by making an increased £28.9m bid for Cesc Fabregas.
Just hours after Rooney confirmed he was "confused and angry" by his treatment at United, the Stamford Bridge outfit revealed they had made an offer for the 27-year-old.
And Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho admitted it was "Rooney or bust" in his quest to sign him.
But he angrily denied reports that the offer was £10m plus either Juan Mata or David Luiz.
Mourinho and Chelsea have set a limit of £25m for the England star and it looks like the champions will do business if they get a straight cash bid for that amount.
It is understood Rooney has already agreed in principle a similar £220,000-a-week deal at Stamford Bridge to the one he is currently on at Old Trafford.

United chief executive Ed Woodward yesterday flew back from the club's Australia tour almost certainly to oversee Rooney's departure and attempt to seal Spanish ace Fabregas' arrival.

United are confident they will land the 26-year-old former Arsenal midfielder despite Barca claiming he does not want to leave the Nou Camp.

Speaking after his side's 1-0 win against Singha All-Stars in Bangkok yesterday, Mourinho said: "The situation is clear - nothing is a secret any more.

"The official bid is about a certain amount of money and doesn't involve players. We want the player. We made the bid and now we have nothing more to say.

"Now it is up to Manchester United." Asked if Chelsea had made bids for any other big-name players, Mourinho said: "No, and we won't."
