Wayne Rooney is reportedly a target for streaming giants Amazon amongst other big football broadcasters.
The England and Manchester United legend has made a return to punditry following his mutual agreement to leave Plymouth Argyle in December.
Rooney managed the Championship side for seven months but left at the end of 2024 following a winless run of nine matches.
He appeared on The Overlap last week alongside former teammates Gary Neville and Roy Keane to discuss his management career.
The 39-year-old has featured on the podcast multiple times but could be set for a role elsewhere amid his depth of football experience.
As reported by the Daily Mirror, Amazon want him as a pundit for their coverage of Manchester City vs Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
Rooney is also being eyed as a regular name for them, although their discussions have not yet led to an agreement.
Amazon could face competition for his expertise though, with the BBC’s legendary show Match of the Day said to be interested.
Sky Sports could also be in contention alongside TNT Sports, both of whom have previously had Rooney on their programming.
Rooney enjoyed an illustrious career in professional football having won five Premier League titles and the Champions League at Old Trafford.
He also featured for Everton, DC United and Derby County, with his 120 England caps the second-highest in the nation’s history.
The iconic forward announced his retirement in early 2021 when he became the permanent manager at Derby.
Rooney secured their Championship safety months later but left at the end of the 2021/22 campaign.
Derby were relegated to League One following a season in which they were deducted 21 points for administration and financial breaches.
The Premier League Hall of Fame inductee then became head coach at DC United, the penultimate club of his playing career.
After a year and three-month spell at the MLS club, Rooney returned to English football with an appointment at Birmingham City.
It proved tough though as he won only two of 15 matches in charge across a tenure that spanned less than three months.
Rooney enjoyed slightly more success at Plymouth but could not see out the rest of their season as they fight against relegation.
