Didier Drogba confirms £220k per week move to Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua
Former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has confirmed his long-expected move to Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua after signing a two-and-a-half year deal reportedly worth £200,000 a week with the Chinese Super League side.
The 34-year-old, who confirmed his intention to leave Stamford Bridge following Chelsea’s Champions League final victory over Bayern Munich has been linked with Shanghai for several months after contract talks with Chelsea stalled over the length of a new deal.
The Premier League club had said they hoped to keep the Ivorian after he scored the all-important equaliser and then the winning penalty in the Champions League triumph in Munich last month.
