Midfielders Renato Augusto and Jadson have both accepted an alluring big money offers from Chinese outfits, and Elias might as well follow the two as he is also being sought after by the Chinese.

Renato Augusto, who was the best player of the last 2015 Brazilian Championship, confirmed his over $11 million transfer to Beijing Guoan of the Chinese Super League on Wednesday.

"I apologize to the (Corinthians) fans for not being able to finish my work here," the Brazilian player said.

"This is a unique chance in my career. I never thought I'd receive a proposal like this. I am probably suffering just as much as the fans because I saw that the hard work could bear even greater fruits."

Midfielder Jadson moved to China last December when Corinthians accepted a $5.4 million offer from second-tier club Tianjin Songjiang which is currently under the watch of Vanderlei Luxemburgo.

While Sao Paulo's midfielder Elias, had been offered $10 million by Hebei China Fortune.

Corinthians are not the only Brazilian club to have their key players in the radars of the Chinese.

Santos attacking midfielder Lucas Lima has confirmed reports that he received proposals to join several Chinese football clubs next year.

Former Manchester United and current Internacional midfielder Anderson has also attracted interest from Chinese outfit Hebei Fortune.

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

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

Brazil's 2002 World Cup winning manager Luiz Felipe Scolari is the club's coach.
