According to Football Italia, the Italian-Brazilian striker has been linked with a move to Inter and has no intention of going to China at this stage of his career.

Eder helped Italy to qualify to UEFA Euro 2016; scoring the equalizer in a 2-2 draw against Bulgaria in a Euro 2016 qualifying away match and opened the scoring in a 3-1 away win over Azerbaijan in October 2015.

Eder is the latest Brazilian player to reject an alluring offer from a Chinese football club.

Santos playmaker Lucas Lima recently confirmed reports that he has been offered contracts by several Chinese football clubs but turned them down.

"They will have to watch me on TV!" he jested, "I don't want that for my career at the moment, I have always been clear. Football is very dynamic and anything can happen, but right now, in my head I am focused on Santos and I am not thinking about this now," Lima confirmed.

Former AC Milan and Corinthians midfielder Alexandre Pato also chose his dreams to return and play in the Champions League again over a lucrative three-year deal offer from Chinese second tier Tianjin Quanjiang that would have earned him more than $12 million yearly.
