Arsenal boss Wenger offered £30M-a-year escape route to China

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has been offered a bank-busting escape route to China.

But Wenger has turned down a massive £30million-a-year offer to 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.

The Mirror reports 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 for 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.
