Cruzeiro chasing Tianjin Quanjian midfielder Jadson

Xinhua, December 26, 2016 Adjust font size:

Brazilian Serie A club Cruzeiro are reportedly close to signing former Brazil international midfielder Jadson from Tianjin Quanjian.

Cruzeiro president, Gilvan Tavares, said the club had a verbal agreement with a high profile player, believed to be the 33-year-old former Corinthians playmaker, according to widespread media reports.

"We are chasing at least one player and he could arrive at any time, we are just waiting for final confirmation," Tavares told reporters on Sunday.

Jadson joined Tianjin Quanjian in January after helping Corinthians win the Brazilian Serie A title in 2015.

Cruzeiro have already signed Ecuador international defender Luis Caicedo, full-back Diogo Barbosa and midfielder Hudson Rodrigues in the past three weeks. Endit
