Manchester United star offered insane €37m a year by Beijing Guoan
The clincher? The Chinese Premier League’s deadline is only on February 28th!
Beijing Guoan are alleged by the Daily Star (via the Telegraph) to have made a £20m (€23.2m) offer for the Mancunian legend.
This comes in the wake of Rooney making some comments which indicated that he would remain at United.
“I’m committed to the club,” he pointed out earlier this week.
“I’ve still got two years – a year with an option year – to go.
“I’m happy at Manchester United. I’ve been at the club a long time. Of course I want to play more games, but I’m in a happy place at the moment.”
Coach Jose Mourinho had previously said that he “wouldn’t stand” in Rooney’s way if he was tempted to make such a move:
“The money is huge,” the Special one confirmed. “The experience can also be interesting. I know some of my colleagues think they are more important than they are and think they can interfere in the lives of other people, but I’m not that sort of guy.
