According to the official Oriental Morning Post, the two sides have already reached agreement “in principle” for a two-and-a-half-year contract.
The proposed salary would exceed the pay of Drogba’s former Chelsea teammate and Shenhua’s current top player Nicolas Anelka, who is reported to be receiving 200,000 euros ($291,000) a week, it said. Shenhua declined to comment yesterday, and an official said Drogba would make the announcement himself if he decided to sign.
