Kina snuvar Liverpool på Teixeira – för rekordsumma
Den kinesiska fotbollsklubben Jiangsu Suning betalar 50 miljoner euro, motsvarande cirka 468 miljoner kronor, för brasilianaren Alex Teixeira som spelar i ukrainska Sjachtar Donetsk.
Den 26-åringe mittfältaren blir den dyraste värvningen i kinesisk fotboll och överträffar de 42 miljoner euro som Guangzhou Evergrande betalade för Atletico Madrids colombianske anfallare Jackson Martinez häromdagen.

Jiangsu Suning Football Club (simplified Chinese: 江苏苏宁; traditional Chinese: 江蘇蘇寧; pinyin: Jiāngsū Sūníng) is a professional football club that currently participates in the Chinese Super League under licence from the Chinese Football Association (CFA). The team is based in Nanjing, Jiangsu and their home stadium is the Nanjing Olympic Sports Center that has a seating capacity of 61,443. Their current owners are the retailer Suning Commerce Group.
The team was originally founded in 1958 as Jiangsu Provincial Team while the current professional football club was established in March 1994. They were one of the founding members of the first fully professional top tier league in China, the 1994 Chinese Jia-A League season, however they faced relegation in that campaign. They have since gone on to win promotion back into the top tier at the end of the 2008 league season and achieved their best ever league finish when they ended up being runners-up in the 2012 season.
