[Saba Sports News] British media reports indicate that
Wayne Rooney has been offered an annual salary of £1.5 million if he decides to
join Birmingham. This amount is three times higher than what his predecessor,
Eustace, earned. Eustace’s weekly salary at Birmingham was reported to be £9,000,
whereas Rooney’s salary would significantly surpass that, equating to nearly
£29,000 per week. The decision to pursue Rooney was reportedly influenced by
Tom Wagner, Birmingham’s new American boss. The club’s CEO, Garry Cook, has a
close relationship with the former Manchester United legend due to his previous
senior role at Nike. It’s worth noting that NFL legend Tom Brady is also one of
the club’s partners, and he hopes that signing Rooney will bring some star
effect to Birmingham.
