Gazzetta dello Sport – Inter have made an official offer for Paulinho

Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Inter have accelerated their move for Corinthians and Brazil international midfielder Paulinho by presenting an official offer of 15 million € cash to sign the player now in January. According to the newspaper, Inter have presented the player with an offer of 2,5 million € per season for an as of yet unknown number of seasons. Paulinho has a minimum release-fee clause of 18 million € but the Inter-directors are confident that the current offer which is 3 million € short of activating the clause will suffice to convince Corinthians to part ways with the player.
