Three-year deal
The 24-year-old midfield player is moving to China for €650,000, having agreed a three-year contract. However, Alexa is aware the switch could cost him his international place, having only just made his debut in last month's 1-0 friendly defeat by the Republic of Ireland.
Plenty of medals
"I am aware that with this transfer I have lost the national team," said Alexa. The former Rocar Bucuresti, Universitatea Craiova and FC Dinamo 97 player had spent two seasons with Dinamo, winning the Romanian Cup twice as well as this year's league success.
