Kanoute has left Spanish side Sevilla after having spent seven seasons and scoring 135 goals for the club.
The 34-year-old held talks with Beijin Guoan last week.
He said: “I went to China to discuss an offer I have got from the Chinese club. I am delighted with what I heard.
“However, I have a lot of offers on the table at the moment and fingers crossed I will make the right choice.”
But Kanoute has also revealed that he could even decide to play in the United States or Middle East next season.
Kanoute added: “My career is not finished yet, I can still play at the top level. I am looking forward to next season either in the Middle East or China or the United States.”
