RIO DE JANEIRO, June 9 (Xinhua) -- Corinthians are considering a move to sign out-of-contract midfielder Andrezinho from Tianjin Teda, local media reported on Tuesday.

Andrezinho's deal with the Chinese club expires in July and his representatives have already held preliminary talks with the five-time Brazilian Serie A champions, according to Lancenet.

The 31-year-old has scored 11 goals from 52 matches since joining Tianjin Teda in 2013.

Corinthians coach Tite, who worked with Andrezinho at Brazil's Internacional in 2008 and 2009, is also understood to be considering making an offer for Shanghai Shenxin forward Kieza.

Currently on loan at Bahia, Kieza scored 20 goals in 46 matches for the Brazilian club last season.
