Updated: 2006-11-08 09:41 Dutch club PSV Eindhoven has
offered Shanghai United US$1 million for 17-year-old Chinese goalkeeper Wang

Wang, one of the most talented young players in China, could join the Dutch
champions by the end of the year, Shanghai United's deputy general manager Liu
Jun told the China Youth Daily.
"If negotiations are smooth, the
entire transfer process may be completed by Dec. 31," Liu said.
PSV
sent a "letter of intent" last week containing an agreement to a 10 percent
sell-on clause. It also allowed for Wang to play half a season in the Chinese
Super League in the first three years after joining PSV, the paper said.
The report comes after PSV invited Shanghai Shenhua midfielder twins
Sun Xiang and Sun Ji to a two-week trial with the club in November. The pair are
to arrive at PSV in mid-November, according to the club's Web site.
PSV is not the first club to show an interest in Wang, who had a
week-long trial with Italian Serie A club Inter Milan earlier this year,
according to the Shanghai Daily.
Wang is one of three goalkeepers
named in China Olympic coach Ratomir Dujkovic's 27-man squad for next month's
Asian Games in Doha.
