Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson is preparing to sell striker Wayne Rooney for 35 million pounds ($52.5 million) at the end of the season, the Daily Mirror said.

The coach this week left 27-year-old Rooney out of the starting lineup for the Champions League match against Real Madrid that the English team lost 2-1, leaving the player furious, the newspaper added. Ferguson is unhappy at Rooney’s level of fitness, the Mirror said.
The team is willing to listen to offers, with Manchester City, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain interested, the newspaper said. Rooney’s contract has two years remaining.

The Guardian said Rooney’s reputed 300,000 pound-a-week salary is too expensive for City, which tried to sign him in 2010. AC Milan, Juventus and Inter Milan would struggle to pay his wages, and Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Barcelona may not see Rooney fitting into their squads, the newspaper said.
