Local media have reported that Anelka's management is in talks with the Chinese Super League club to annul the final year of his contract, while Drogba has been linked with a move back to Europe.
Drogba signed a two-and-a-half year deal reportedly worth around $300,000 (£185,000) per week in June, but the Shanghai-based Oriental Sports Daily said last week the 34-year-old striker was owed wages in the wake of a long-running equity row at the club.
Drogba applied for permission last month to leave Shanghai on loan before the start of the January transfer window, but Fifa refused the request. He has since returned to Chelsea to train at his former club in a bid to stay sharp for the Africa Cup of Nations, which starts on 19 January, fuelling speculation of a return to Europe.
