NANJING, China, Feb. 5 (Xinhua) -- China's transfer record kept tumbling as
Jiangsu Suning splashed out 50 million euros to buy Brazilian midfielder Alex
Teixeria on Friday.
The record has been shattered four times by cash-rich Chinese Super League
sides in a month

Shaquil Barrett Jersey , first by Brazilian Elkeson, the top scorer
of Chinese and Asian champions Guangzhou Evergrande, sold to Shanghai SIPG on
18.5 million euros on Jan. 21.
The 26-year-old Teixeira from Ukraine's Shakhtar Donetsk agreed to a
four-year contract with the newest record.
The sum beat the 2-day-old Chinese and Asian record set by Colombian Jackson
Martinez who joined Evergrande on 42 million euros on Wednesday.
Teixeira will join compatriot Ramires in midfield, a China record of 28
million euros until Evergrande's signing of Martinez. Croatian Jorge Sammir and
Australian Trent Sainsbury are Suning's other foreign recruits.
"Alex is a versatile player who can play may roles. He will boost the team's
competitiveness considerably. We believe that he is worth that sum," Suning
general manager Liu Jun said.

Shelby Harris Jersey , who started off at Brazil's Vasco da Gama,
joined the Ukrainian side in 2010 on a 6-million-euro deal. He led the team to
five league and three Cup titles, named the Golden Boot in the 2014-2015 season,
having scored 26 goals in his latest 26 appearances for Donetsk.
Donetsk reportedly refused Chelsea's 32-million-euro offer for Teixeira.
English and Brazilian media disclosed the Ukrainian side asked for 49 million.
Teixeira has passed the physical exam and will meet new teammates soon in
Nanjing to prepare for the Asian Champions League, said a club source.

Justin Simmons Jersey , the general manager, revealed that Suning
is seeking a forward before the new season kicks off in March.
"We plan to recruit the last player, an effective forward, to complete the
jigsaw puzzle of foreign players," he said.
The latest signing helped the Chinese Super League overtake the English
Premier League in spending during the winter transfer window

Jake Butt Jersey , the transfermarkt website said.
With soccer listed as a sporting priority of the country, Chinese clubs have
spent lavishly on foreign talent, hoping to raise the standard of the
under-performing domestic league and international competition.
The cashed-up CSL have so far spent 258.9 million euros in China's current
transfer window. Premier League clubs spent 247.3 million euros in the European
window.
The second-tier China League One even ranked ahead of the Bundesliga in
Germany, Spain's Primera Division and France's Ligue 1 for spending, according
to the transfermarkt website.
