The Belgium international's salary is expected to eclipse Rooney's $3.5million (£2.9m) per-year wages he made when he played for the club between 2018 and 2020.
However, the 31-year-old will need a work visa and that process may take at least two weeks.
Therefore, DC's match against the Philadelphia Union on August 20 may be the earliest realistic date for the Belgian's debut.
