FOOTBALL TRANSFER UPDATES! ********************* Mourinho: Rooney Chase Over ********************* Bale To Cost Madrid £78 million ********************* Arsenal To Spend Entire Transfer Budget On Real Trio ********************* Jose Mourinho declared that Chelsea’s transfer business was finished for the summer after the UEFA Super Cup defeat on penalties against Bayern Munich. Chelsea have been busy strengthening their squad this summer but Mourinho had identified Manchester United striker, Wayne Rooney as his main target. Having turned his focus to other options and signed Samuel Eto’o from Anzhi Makhachkala this week, Mourinho now accepts that his pursuit of Rooney is at an end and he does not expect any more new arrivals before Monday’s deadline. “Samuel will give us other kind of qualities in attack. He is an experienced player in a team that needs some experienced players.” Meanwhile, Arsenal are reported to want to blow their entire £70 million transfer budget on Real Madrid trio, Karim Benzema, Mesut Ozil and Angel Di Maria, as they bid to rescue a disastrous summer window.
