It seems that the Chinese Super league will stop at nothing and their next target is to bring one of the most established European stars to their shores.

United skipper Rooney wanted by Shanghai to become the face of Chinese league.

Shanghai Shenhua, who have earlier signed big name stars like Didier Drogba and Anelka, are very much interested in signing Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney. Rooney has not been at his best in this season but is certainly the one of the most marketable stars in the Premier league having played for the Red Devils for over a decade.

It has been reported that the Chinese club have submitted a bid of around £27 million to Manchester United for their captain as well give him a £500,000 per week contract.

The money on offer is certainly too good to refuse for the United captain but the offer given shows the amount of interest that Shanghai Shenhua have shown towards the England International.

Rooney is a bit wary about taking the offer since he would have to relocate his family as well. But the 30 year old, who is currently having two years on his contract, may find it difficult to refuse such a massive offer.

The Chinese Super league club wants Rooney to be the poster boy for their competition which only started in the year 2004.

The Chinese Super League have outspent even the Premier league in terms of transfer fees in the current transfer window.

Robin van Persie admits unhappiness after continually being substituted by Fenerbahce

It seems that the Chinese are willing to do even more business with their transfer window coming to a close in the next few days. It has been reported that Shanghai Shenhua are interested in former Manchester United striker Robin Van Persie. Van Persie is currently plying his trade in Turkey with Fenerbahce.

The Dutch International moved to Turkey in the summer of 2015 after spending three years with United since he was not going to be a  part of his compatriot LVG's plans.

The forward had lost his form after United's last title winning campaign under Sir Alex Ferguson. However, the forward has not been happy with his life in Istanbul and may be eager for a change.

It seems that the Chinese Super League club is willing to offer around €25 million for the Dutch forward but it remains to be seen whether Van Persie would be interested to move to China at this stage of his career.

Shanghai Shenhua are very much keen for the deal to happen after releasing former Everton midfielder Tim Cahill earlier in the week.
