Frankly speaking, will this happen?

Wayne Rooney is said to be a top target for Inter Milan right now and it's a move that would suit both parties. Rooney would get a break from English football and Nerazzurri will get an experienced striker in their squad.

Inter Milan currently have Mauro Icardi as their main striker and club captain but with tension going on between him and the club fans, it's very difficult to see him stay at the club beyond this season. The Argentine has been linked with a move away from the club for the above reason and Rooney can be a brilliant replacement for him.

Rooney's got the experience and the qualities of a proper striker. Inter Milan really need that right now and getting the Englishman would do them wonders. The only competition for Wayne Rooney will have for his position (if Icardi leaves) is Stevan Jovetic and the former Manchester City man is nowhere close to the form he had while at Fiorentina.

First team football would be basically guaranteed to Rooney if he moves to Inter but the wages might be an issue for the move to happen. Rooney is currently on a £300,000 per week payroll at Manchester United and the Serie A side might not be in a position to match it.
