Real president drops another Rooney hint

On the day when he is expected to be re-elected as Real Madrid president, Florentino Perez again hinted that the club may make a future move for England striker Wayne Rooney.

Perez is standing for the presidency alongside Lorenzo Sanz and Arturo Baldesano – a result is expected tonight – but polls carried out in Madrid over the past few days suggest he will be handed a second term despite the team’s dismal end to last season.
