Beijing Guoan's honorary chairman Luo Ning revealed the Chinese Super League powerhouses made an offer for Wayne Rooney but the Manchester United captain wanted to remain in the Premier League.
A move away from Old Trafford has been reported, with Rooney no longer an automatic starter at United.
"We indeed made an approach for Rooney at the beginning of the season but he's informed us that he wants to stay in Manchester United," Luo said in an interview on Beijing sports broadcasting program Sports Night Talks.
"Rooney says he'll keep playing in the Premier League as long as his health allows.
"We even met with his agent [Paul Stratford]."
