According to Xinhua, Midfielder Jadson became the latest Brazilian footballer to move to China this month when Corinthians accepted a $5.4 million offer from second-tier club Tianjin Songjiang.

It could also be assumed that in the coming days, Hebei China Fortune could have midfielder Elias from the Sao Paulo outfit. The Chinese team has reportedly made a $10 million bid for the Brazil international. 

There are also reports that Corinthians striker Alexandre Pato is on a Chinese clubs' radar together with Vagner Love.

26-year-old Pato remains keen to leave Brazil and it is said that the player has received an offer from Chinese outfit Tianjin Songjiang for a move to Asia in the new year.

"Events on the other side of the world have caused great fear and at the same time great hope for Corinthians in the next transfer window," Lancenet stated."With money to spend, Chinese clubs are turning their attention to the Brazilian champions. If on one hand this represents a threat to Corinthians' squad, on the other hand it will mean more money for the club."

Due to higher salaries and the improved standard of the Chinese Super League, China has become an increasingly alluring destination for Brazilian players and coaches.

There were six Brazilian players in the Guangzhou Evergrande squad that won the past five league titles. Among them are former national team players Paulinho, Robinho and Ricardo Goulart.  

The club is under the watch of Luiz Felipe Scolari, Brazil's 2002 World Cup winning manager.
