Nicolas Anelka is being targeted by many clubs. After Milan, Anzhi Makhachkala and some French clubs, Shanghai Shenhua also participated in the battle for the Chelsea striker’s signature.

Officials from the Chinese club confirmed their interest and desire to bring Anelka to Shanghai. But also disclosed that the possibility of getting the French striker is quite small.

“Surely bringing him to China is very difficult,” said Shanghai Shenhua officials to the Daily DF.

“We’ve asked directly to Anelka. We also know he could leave Chelsea with the Bosman rule next summer, but a lot of clubs are interested in him.”

“If in the end we sign him, then it should worth a big deal,” he continued.

But the news released by L’Equipe revealed that Anelka had reached an agreement with Shanghai Shenhua for a fee of $ 10.6 million per year.
