Ex-midfielder Shakhtar Alex Teixeira will return to his homeland in Corinthians.

"Musketeers" agreed to lease Alex Teixeira from Jiangsu Sunin for a period of one year, according to UOL.

Initially, the transaction was reported by Radio Globo, and then confirmed this information and UOL.

In the "Timau" Alex is called to replace Jo, who spoke on the left flank of the attack. This winter, Jo went to Nagoya Grampus.

Last season, Corinthians confidently won the Brazilian championship, beating the nearest pursuers, Palmeiras and Santos, by 9 points.

Teixeira played for Shakhtar from 2010 to 2016.

In the winter of 2016, he went to Jiangsu Sunin for 50 million euros. Earlier it was reported that in China, Alex earns more than 12 million euros per season.

An active role in the transition was played by Junior Mendonza, representative of Teixeira.

In the season that ended in China, Alex played 27 games for Jiangsu Sunin, scoring 11 goals.

Previously, the media linked Teixeira with the transition to Inter, which has a common host with Jiangsu Sunin.
