Shenhua hope to complete the signing of Drogba before next Monday.
Shenhua signed Drogba’s former Chelsea team-mate Nicolas Anelka earlier this month.
“Everything is going well so far though there have been a few obstacles. They never turned us down, which is good for us,” club board member Zhou Jun told The Shanghai Daily.
He added: “It’s like making a blockbuster film. When superstars like Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Zhou Xun have confirmed their participation, other actors and actress will be confident of the movie.”
