Didier Drogba has been released by his chinese club, Shanghai Shenhua, due to the club’s internal problem, which resulted in the club’s inability to pay his wages.
And just as the news filtered in, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Paris St. German have shown interest in signing the Ivorian international.
Though transfer window closed at midnight on Friday, there is a provision in the UEFA books that allow such players to put pen to paper after the closure of the window.
But Drogba’s representative just told the British Broadcasting Corporation that the news about his client’s release by his Chinese club wasn’t true.
Though he acknowledged internal problems in the club, he said it won’t affect Drogba.
Meanwhile, the chief scout of Liverpool few minutes ago said that the Anfield-based team will pursue the signature of Drogba if it is confirmed that he is a free agent.
