Newcastle United manager Rafael Benitez is reportedly on the radar of Guangzhou Evergrande.
It has been reported by the British tabloid that Newcastle manager Benitez has been contacted by middle men from China to take charge of the team for their next campaign.
The former Liverpool and Chelsea manager could reportedly be paid £10 million per year as salary by the Chinese club.
According to The Sun, Benitez is discussing the issue with his family and friends.
Worry for Newcastle United?
Benitez is one of the best managers Newcastle have had for a long time, and if the Spaniard leaves, then it will be a massive loss for the Magpies.
Newcastle need Benitez at the helm to retain their Premier League status, and it will be a worry for the Magpies that Evergrande are reportedly interested in him.
However, Benitez is committed to Newcastle, and the former Liverpool manager loves the fans, and it will be a surprise if he leaves St. James’ Park before next summer.
Newcastle are struggling for survival in the Premier League at the moment.
