Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, has turned down a massive £30million-a-year world-record move to China, according to reports.
The Gunners boss could have become the highest paid manager in the world and been on double what Pep Guardiola earns at Manchester City.
According to the Mirror, an unnamed Chinese Super League club were ready to try and capitalise on the uncertainty surrounding the Frenchman’s Emirates future.
Wenger, 67, has said he is eager to carry on managing at the highest level but mounting pressure from Gunners fans could force him to move elsewhere.
The former Monaco boss’ current £8m-a-year deal runs its course at the end of the season but he knows he can extend that by two more years if he wishes.
But Wenger has refused to commit to the club with the season still ongoing which has put Emirates chiefs on alert that he could leave.
The pressure on the tactician is mounting after another disappointing season that has seen them fall out of the title race and almost certain to be knocked out of the Champions League.
Wenger’s men went into half-time during their first leg clash against Bayern Munich level before being embarrassed 5-1.
Fans are planning a protest before the return leg next week to demand a change of boss.
