Chinese side Jiangsu Suning bought Brazilian midfielder Alex Teixeira from Ukraine's Shakhtar Donetsk for 50 million euros ($56 million) on Friday, the Chinese club said on its verified microblog, the latest Europe-based player to head east.

It was the second time in three days that the Chinese transfer fee record was broken, following Guangzhou Evergrande's announcement Wednesday they had secured Atletico Madrid's unsettled Colombian striker Jackson Martinez for 42 million euros.
