Chelsea midfielder, Ramires, has joined Chinese side, Jiangsu Suning, on a permanent basis, the Premier League club have announced.
The Blues paid £18 million for Ramires in 2010, and he signed a new four-year deal in October.
But the Brazilian, 28, has not started in the Premier League since the 2-1 defeat by Leicester City on December 14 and moves to China in a £25 million deal.
He had attracted interest from European heavyweights, including Bayern Munich and PSG, but the Chinese outfit have won the race.
Ramires joins a growing list of Brazilians plying their trade in China, including former Tottenham midfielder, Paulinho, under ex-Blues boss, Felipe Scolari.
And he will be managed by former Chelsea midfielder, Dan Petrescu, who has been in charge of Jiangsu since last July.
The Blues are rebuilding for the future, freeing up cash to spend on new talent after their woeful title defence this season culminated in manager Jose Mourinho being sacked.
