The romance between Shanghai Shenhua and Anelka is about to end. Less than a year after his arrival in the league of China (Chinese Super League), the French striker negotiate the termination of his contract.

According to the spokesman of Shanghai Shenhua, Ma Yue, “The discussion is going on between himself (Anelka) and the club.”

To believe the site Sina.com, the Martinican player is willing to overlook his salary next year if the Chinese team left him free and requires no compensation. A salary amounting to $ 7 million.

Recruited in December 2011, the former Liverpool striker, aged 33, arrived in the Chinese Championship in February 2012.

If an agreement is reached between the two sides, Nicolas Anelka could return to the English Premier League. The terrible child of the French football should evolve with Stéphane Mbia within QPR (Queens Park Rangers), according to Chinese media. The former player of Arsenal, Real Madrid and PSG among others was joined in China by his strike partner of  Chelsea, Didier Drogba who has scored only three goals with Shanghai Shenhua over 24 games.
