Shanghai SIPG coach Sven-Goran Eriksson has declined to comment on reports that they have decided to farm out striker Asamoah Gyan .
Gyan, 30, joined the Chinese Super League side last year from United Arab Emirate side Al Ain in a massive deal that made him the sixth highest paid player in world and the highest paid player from Africa with a weekly wage of €271,000.
However, he has struggled with injuries, scoring only seven goals in 20 league games in two seasons and was yet to earn a regular place in Sven-Goran Eriksson's starting XI this term. Read more: Brazilian to partner Asamoah Gyan after €55 million bid from Shanghai SIPG
His situation prompted the club's top hierarchies to opt for Zenit Saint Petersburg striker Brazilian Hulk, for an Asian record transfer fee of €55.8 million as they hope to rekindle their league title ambition.
Due to Super League's foreign player limits, one of SIPG's current overseas imports must leave to make way for Hulk, with former Sunderland striker Asamoah Gyan the most likely to depart according to local media.
When asked about the Ghana international's future in Shanghai, Eriksson said: 'Sorry, I am not clear at the moment on what is going to happen with Asamoah.'
Shanghai SIPG grabbed their first Chinese Super League victory in six games, just days after reportedly breaking the Asian transfer record to land Brazilian forward Hulk
