Two Chinese clubs plan £10M bids for Man Utd captain Rooney
Posted Monday, December 26, 2016 by Tribalfootball.com
Chinese clubs are willing to make Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney among the highest paid players in the world.
Two clubs are reported to be chasing the Manchester United and England captain on a deal worth an incredible £700,000-a-week.
The Mirror says China's richest club Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao and Beijing Guoan have made signing Rooney a top priority.
Beijing made a move for the striker - no longer a regular starter for club or country - in the summer but were rebuffed by agent Paul Stretford.
But since then, Rooney has fallen down Jose Mourinho's pecking order, while a drinking row while on England duty leaves his international future unclear.
The report states that Rooney, who has a contract until 2019, would cost the Chinese club around £10m.
