Wayne Rooney is being offered an eye-watering £75 million (RMB750 million) deal to move to the Chinese Super League, and old England boss Sven Goran Eriksson's Shanghai SIPG, if the ever reliable Daily Mail is to be believed.
The Chinese Super League want the Manchester United striker and England captain to become their poster boy, and are ready to give the 30-year-old a three-year contract worth up to £25m (RMB250 million) per season.
The financial package, so the Mail claims, would include an image rights agreement that would see Rooney cash in if he can help increase the CSL’s global profile.
The CSL are said to want Rooney to join as soon as possible, although they are willing to wait, such is their determination to land the striker. He has publicly stated he will make a decision over his international future after leading the Three Lions to Euro 2016 in the summer.
The Mail go on to claim that Chelsea defender and former England captain John Terry is also on the CSL shopping list. Meanwhile, the even more reliable Sun claim Man City's Ivory Coast midfielder Yaya Toure is Shanghai SIPG's target, in a £24 million (RMB240 million) deal.
Inside sources at the Chinese club say they have assured Toure they will buy him a birthday cake, so the ink is pretty much dry on that contract...
