Liverpool were close to agreeing a deal for the Brazilian but a report in Italy now claims that a move to the Chinese Super League is back on the table
Shakhtar Donetsk's attacking midfielder Alex Teixeira is closing in on a €50 million move to China, according to Calcio Mercato.
Goal reported during the January transfer window that Liverpool were in talks with Shakhtar over a move for the 26-year-old, but were scuppered when his valuation rose from £38m to £53m in the space of three days.
Liverpool will be looking to explore the possibility of a deal in the summer, but reports in Italy now claim that talks between Shakhtar and Jiangsu Suning are ongoing, but a deal is expected to be completed.
Jiangsu Suning have already signed Ramires from Chelsea for a fee believed to be worth around £25m.
