Former Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka has revealed that he spurned an offer from Paris Saint-Germain in November.
The 32-year-old forward left Chelsea for Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua in January after finding playing opportunities very limited under manager Andre Villas-Boas.
Anelka says he had no interest in returning to PSG, where he had played between 1996 and 1997 and then between 2000 and 2002, as he sought a new experience in his life.
"I was contacted by an intermediary of Qatar Investment Authority," he told Canal +. "I did not want to go to PSG because I had already played there.
"I know the French mentality. The people there would have worn me out. It did not interest me.
"Shanghai is Asia's New York. I love the way they live. I often come here on vacation. This is my last contract."
