Shanghai Shenhua make "breakthrough" in Carlos Tevez talks

Shanghai Shenhua are making progress in their attempts to sign Boca Juniors striker Carlos Tevez, according to club president Wu Xiaohui.

Shanghai Shenhua president Wu Xiaohui has claimed that a "breakthrough" has been made in negotiations with Carlos Tevez.

Last month, it was reported that an unnamed club from the Chinese Super League were trying to make Tevez the best-paid player in the world and it has now been claimed in China that the team involved are Shenhua.

It has been suggested that they are willing to pay Tevez £33.4m per season, and Wu has gone on record as saying that they are trying to push through the transfer of the Boca Juniors striker.

He told Shenhua News: "We have done a lot of work [on trying to sign Tevez] and it's safe to say that there has been a definite breakthrough in the negotiations but for a variety of reasons, we have not sealed the deal.

"Their club have problems that are still yet to be resolved and I will spare you the details. We will continue to put greater effort into this and strive to give our supporters a pleasant surprise as soon as possible."

Tevez currently has less than two years remaining on his contract with the Argentine side.
