Jiangsu Suning are targeting sacked Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri.

The Daily Star says Jiangsu have made an approach for the ex-Leicester boss, who is the latest top European name to be targeted in China's ongoing football revolution.

If a deal is done, Ranieri, 65, sacked by the Foxes only nine months after winning the Premier League, will become one of the best-paid managers on the planet.

Former Chelsea and Tottenham coach Andre Villas-Boas currently earns an incredible £11M a year – after tax – with Shanghai SIPG.

That is more than four times the amount Ranieri was taking home before getting the bullet at the King Power Stadium in February.
