Anelka has been transfer listed by Chelsea at his own request and is currently training away from the first-team.
Shenhua’s assistant spokesperson Ma Yue confirmed to the Shanghai Daily: “It will be a three-year contract and will involve both football and commercial cooperation.”
“We started to talk about every detail from the first minute of the negotiations,” Shanghai Shenhua chairman Zhu Jun said.
“The whole contract is made up of details. It’s comprehensive and complicated, involving the player’s image and the commercial cooperation.”
