"Anži" refuses to give up intentions to acquire Rooney © EuroFootball.com

One of the leaders of Machačkala's "Anzhi" club, Roberto Carlos, did not rule out the possibility of trying to acquire "Man Utd" star Wayne Rooney.

The Dagestan team does not lack financial resources and maintains the world's highest-paid footballer - Cameroonian forward Samuel Eto'o. He earns nearly 300 thousand euros per week.

"Rooney? Why not? Wayne is one of the best footballers in the world, so any team would want to see him in their ranks," said the Brazilian. "Besides, the Englishman is still relatively young."

And he continued: "Of course, for now it would be difficult to say when we could attract Rooney. But our club owner Suleyman Kerimov is capable of acquiring anything."
