Bring him to me!

Wayne Rooney is someone ALL the Chinese Super League clubs would love to sign. It not only gives them a good first choice striker in the squad but it also gives them much-needed publicity and puts them on the map.

Former England manager, Sven-Göran Eriksson is currently managing Shanghai SIPG in the Chinese Super League and he would be the first one to make a move for the Manchester United star if Rooney is open to a move to China.

There are several star players in the Chinese Super League but if Wayne Rooney moves there, he would be the biggest name ever to have signed for a Chinese club. Didier Drogba shocked the world with a move to China to join up with his former teammate Anelka but several stars like Ramires, Hulk, Pelle, and Demba Ba have mode there since.

Wayne Rooney's wage demands won't be a problem for the Chinese clubs as they have offered Graziano Pelle £350,000 perweek and it's reported that Zlatan Ibrahimovic was offered a massive £700,000 per week contract before he made a move to Manchester United.
