Dalian Yifang are moving for Newcastle United boss Rafa Benitez.

The Chinese Premier League outfit are trying to capitalise on the Spaniard's uncertain future at St James' Park with the offer of a megabucks deal.

The Sun says it is understood Dalian Yifang have offered Benitez a whopping £12million per year which would see him surpass Fabio Cannavaro as the highest-paid coach in China.

The Italian legend nets a tidy £11m per year to take charge of Guangzhou Evergrande but Dalian Yifang are backed by China's fourth-richest man, Wang Jianlin, who is worth a reported £17.2bn.

If Benitez did take the job in China, he would inherit a side which includes Slovakian star Marek Hamsik.
