"Sao Paulo's "Corinthians" club has confirmed that London's "Tottenham" are in negotiations with Paulinho.
The 24-year-old footballer is currently participating in the Confederations Cup with the Brazilian national team, where he has already scored one goal.
The "Spurs" team has been closely monitoring the former "FC Vilnius" midfielder for some time now and is planning to offer £17 million to the "Corinthians" team.
The director of the Sao Paulo team confirmed this information: "Negotiations for the acquisition of Paulinho have advanced significantly. We still need to discuss a few details with Tottenham, but it's just a matter of time."
It's worth mentioning that the services of the footballer were also of interest to Madrid's "Real"."
