Brazilian midfielder Jadson opts against China move

Xinhua, February 26, 2015 Adjust font size:

Brazilian midfielder Jadson has aborted a planned move to China by announcing he will remain at Corinthians.

The Brazilian club and China's Jiangsu Sainty had agreed in principal to the transfer but the 31-year-old reneged at the last minute.

"The only person that could decide he didn't want to go was the player himself," Corinthians' football director Sergio Luiz Janikian told radio Bandeirantes on Wednesday.

"He thought about it and decided that Corinthians was the best option in terms of his career. The Chinese club also sent us the necessary documents to cancel the operation."

Despite the club missing out on a reported five-million-euro fee for Jadson, the decision is likely to have satisfied coach Tite and Corinthians' fans.

Tite has made no secret of his plans to use the playmaker in a permanent starting role this year. The former Shakhtar Donetsk player was man of the match in Corinthians' 2-0 Copa Libertadores victory against Sao Paulo last week. Endi
