During the summer transfer window, England national team and "Manchester United" striker Wayne Rooney may leave the country and move to China. "The Daily Mail" insists that W. Rooney has received an invitation to transfer to one of the country's Super League clubs.
It is said that the Shanghai SIPG team would like to take advantage of the football player's services. The team is currently managed by former England team manager Sven-Goran Eriksson.
The 30-year-old W. Rooney himself mentioned possible transfers and moving to China. He met with a journalist who he knew well and shared the news.
"Wayne called me late in the evening on February 20 and wanted to find out what was being said about the summer transfer window and rumors about 'Manchester United.' The conversation also shifted to articles that did not mention the Chinese offers to W. Rooney. It was funny news. 'But it's true,' Wayne said. Then I asked, what do the Chinese offer, knowing about the incomprehensible numbers. He sent me eight digits and I felt unwell. 'And that's after taxes,' he added," - the English newspaper described W. Rooney's negotiations with the Chinese.
