Shanghai SIPG are the latest club to join the race for Arsenal and Chelsea target Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Chinese club Tianjin Quanjin have reportedly already lodged a bid worth around £68.75m for the Borussia Dortmund star – and they are willing to pay him an eye-watering annual salary of £43m.
But now, according to France Football, Quanjin will face competition from within China with Shanghai SIPG ready to trump even that mega-money offer.
Aubameyang has been in searing form this season, scoring 29 goals in 31 Bundesliga outings but Dortmund are still 18 points behind leaders Bayern Munich.
