Didier Drogba, the star striker of Shanghai Shenhua, receives a substantial weekly salary of 240,000 euros, which he covers himself. However, due to financial difficulties faced by the Chinese club, there are speculations about Drogba’s potential departure. Juventus Turin is reportedly keen on acquiring him in the upcoming January transfer window.
As the Chinese championship nears its conclusion, Shanghai Shenhua, currently ranked 9th, is not yet assured of avoiding relegation, holding only an eight-point lead over the relegation zone. Juventus is prepared to invest 10 million euros to secure the services of the 34-year-old Ivorian striker. Despite these transfer rumors, Drogba is set to participate in the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa as the captain of the Ivorian national team.
