The latest top European name to be linked with a Chinese club is Claudio Ranieri, as Jiangsu Suning have\u00a0reportedly made an approach for the\u00a0ex-Leicester boss.<\/p>\n
If a deal comes through, the Italian tactician, who was sacked by Leicester nine months after winning the Premier League, will be one of the best-paid managers in the world.<\/p>\n
Former Chelsea and Tottenham coach Andre Villas-Boas currently earns an incredible \u00a311 million a year after tax with Shanghai SIPG.<\/p>\n
The amount is more than four times what Ranieri was taking home before getting axed at the King Power Stadium in February.<\/p>\n
Jiangsu are an established part of China\u2019s football elite after attracting players from Europe with lucrative deals.<\/p>\n
They first stunned everyone back in January 2016 when splashing \u00a325m on Chelsea\u2019s Brazilian midfielder Ramires.<\/p>\n
A few days later they completed an even more astonishing feat by completing a \u00a342.5m transfer for Shakhtar Donetsk star Alex Teixeira.<\/p>\n
However, Jiangsu are currently at the bottom of the Chinese Super League with 3 points from 7 matches, and the club’s board is trying to push the deal through as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
Ranieri’s agent, Steve Kutner, confirmed earlier this month there are ‘numerous offers’ for his client to consider over the coming months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
