Wayne Rooney will not be leaving Manchester United for Paris Saint-Germain, according to the French club’s director of football Leonardo.
The English striker had been the subject of widespread speculation over the past few days with a move with Paris mooted.
The Parisians, who are on the verge of the Ligue 1 title and made the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals this term, have become well-known big spenders in recent times thanks to their wealthy Qatari owners.
However, Leonardo rubbished rumours of a big-name move for Rooney, along with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Edinson Cavani.
“On Ronaldo, there has never been an offer,” he said.
“I’ve never heard anything about Rooney or Cavani either. I do not rule out big signings, but only if there is a suitable opportunity.
“We do want a larger squad with adequate cover in all areas in order to avoid the sort of problems we had in January in midfield with all the injuries and suspensions.”
