Official: Chinese bought A. Teixeira for 50 million euros

D

onecko "Shakhtar" official website has confirmed that the club has agreed to sell attacking midfielder Alex Teixeira to Jiangsu "Suning".

The official website states that the Brazilian's transfer will cost 50 million euros.

Teixeira has recently been linked with "Liverpool", but the requested sum by the Ukrainian team seemed too high.

The 26-year-old player will become a teammate of former London "Chelsea" midfielder Ramires. Gervinho and Jackson Martinez also moved to China this winter.

"We have agreed on the sale of Alex Teixeira to the Chinese, but due to (Luiz - ed.) Adriano's situation, we have to wait until we can finalize this deal," - Lucescu told ESPN Brasil. "Indeed, a part of our own agreement has already been implemented."

This season, Teixeira scored 26 goals in over 25 matches in all competitions.
