Wayne Rooney will be offered a staggering £700,000-a-week to turn his back on the Premier League and head for China next summer.
Two Chinese Super League clubs will be battling it out for the Manchester United and England captain, who is no longer a guaranteed starter for club or country.
CSL clubs Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao – the richest club in China - and Beijing Guoan have targeted 31-year-old Rooney as the marquee signing to take Chinese football to the next level.
Chelsea star Oscar, will be joining them as soon as the January transfer window opens. The Brazilian attacker will be joining Shanghai SIPG in a £52 million deal worth £400,000 a week.
Former Manchester United and City star Carlos Tevez is also on his way to Shanghai Shenhua on a staggering £615,000-a-week.
But Rooney who is already on £300,000 a week at United where he has two years left on his contract, could eclipse those wages with Guangzhou Evergrande.
Rooney who has scored 248 goals in all competitions for the Red devils, stands just two goals away from breaking Sir Bobby Charlton’s all-time scoring record of 249; a record which has stood for over 43 years.
