In the past, Paulinho, who used to play in Vilnius, already once tried to play at the highest level, but two seasons at London's "Tottenham" club were unsuccessful for the Brazilian.
However, successful performances both in China and in the Brazilian national team once again guaranteed interest from European giants. Paulinho confirmed in an interview that his agent received an offer from the "Barcelona" club.
"I have a contract with my agent," Paulinho said in an interview with "Globoesporte". "I know that we received an offer and negotiations are currently underway."
"I am currently happy with the stage of my career. It is very difficult to decide at this moment, but I am extremely happy that a club like "Barcelona" is interested in me. It is priceless," concluded the 28-year-old midfielder.
Since 2015, Paulinho, who plays for the "Guangzhou Evergrande" team, has played 21 matches this season, scoring eight goals and providing four assists.
