Brazil midfielder Jadson joins China's Tianjin Songjiang

Xinhua, December 19, 2015 Adjust font size:

Former Brazil international midfielder Jadson has accepted an offer to join Tianjin Songjiang, according to local media reports on Friday.

The 32-year-old agreed to join the Chinese second-tier club on a two-year deal worth about 350,000 US dollars a month, the Uol news portal said.

Tianjin Songjiang secured the deal by accepting a five million-euro buyout clause written into Jadson's contract with Brazil's Corinthians.

"When a club accepts to pay the buyout fee, there is nothing you can do," Corinthians president Roberto de Andrade told newspaper Estado de S.Paulo.

"There wasn't even a negotiation. Jadson accepted the proposal and the paperwork is now being done," he added.

Former Brazil international striker Luis Fabiano is also understood to be in talks to join the Asian outfit, who are coached by former Brazil and Real Madrid manager Vanderlei Luxemburgo. Endit
