Beijing Guo'an have all but landed Brazilian Serie A's MVP Renato Augusto.
Augusto confirmed at a press conference he had accepted Guo'an's offer.
Twenty-seven-year-old Augusto won Brazil's domestic title with the Corinthians. He had five goals last season.
Guo'an are also courting Augusto's teammate Ralf, whom Augusto wishes could join him in Beijing.
The Brazilian Serie A has become the biggest market for China's football clubs. Another player from the Corinthians has already signed for Tianjin Quanjian in the China League.
More players are reported to be in talks with Chinese Super League clubs.
