Bayern duo Ribery and Robben told they are too old for Chinese Super League

Shanghai SIPG director Mads Davidsen has told the France and Netherlands internationals that they are no longer wanted at this stage of their career

Bayern Munich duo Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben are now too old to be of benefit to the Chinese Super League, says Shanghai SIPG director Mads Davidsen.

Both wingers have been linked with moves to Asia in the recent past, but have opted to remain in Europe.

Neither have offered any indication that they intend to head to the Far East any time soon, but they have been warned that the opportunity to take advantage of such riches may have passed them by.
