Chelsea legend Didier Drogba is still in talks with Shanghai Shenhua.
The Daily Star Sunday says Drogba still intends to head for China after leaving Chelsea - despite growing interest in the Champions League Final hero.
Out-of-contract Drogba is wanted by his former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid, the Spanish champs.
The Ivory Coast striker, 34, is also on Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp's wish list and has been chased by Paris Saint-Germain - managed by another of his ex-Chelsea managers in Carlo Ancelotti - and Al Wasl in the Middle East.
