Report: Everton to listen to offers for Wayne Rooney

Everton to let Rooney leave in summer?

Wayne Rooney has reportedly been earmarked for a potential summer departure from Everton.

Majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri is believed to be planning a revolution on and off the pitch at Goodison Park following a disappointing season.

Chairman Bill Kenwright sanctioned Rooney's return from ­Manchester United last summer, but the boyhood Evertonian is thought to have fallen below expectations in his second spell at the club.

According to The Mirror, Moshiri - who has spent £200m over the last two transfer windows - will listen to offers for Rooney as part of a major overhaul which could also lead to the departures of Kenwright and manager Sam Allardyce.

The report goes on to claim that Moshiri has conducted a ­review of the club as he looks to leave behind an underachieving season, which has led to ­discontent among fans, and is seeking a better return for his investment.

Rooney has made 39 appearances for Everton this term, scoring 11 goals and registering three assists.
