Paulinho to Inter, as time goes on, the more it leans towards a no. While waiting for news from the envoy Roberto Callenda who is in Brazil to mediate between the clubs and get a complete picture of the situation to report to Moratti, the Brazilian press ensures that Corinthians will not let go of Paulinho. The club has no financial need to sell the player as it was the club outside Europe with the most revenue in 2012 and to give a club a discount because of a clause full of bureaucratic niceties related to the funds that owns the player’s rights and the club membership to be funded. Therefore, the price is higher than the 15 million that Moratti yesterday called “our terms”.
But Estadao, one of the most famous Brazilian portals, ensures that there is an agreement between the player and the club that gives the player the green light to leave after the next Copa Libertadores, ie in July. Reaching an agreement with the player should not be a problem as Inter already have an agreement in principle but, according Estadao, Paulinho has himself made it clear that he would prefer to come to Europe at the beginning of the season and not during a season. This is to avoid a failure like when he went to Poland in the beginning of his career.
What is the solution? “Inter can close the deal now to get the player in July,” according to the portal. It’s an idea, but then you have to first clarify the current situation and determine if you want to cancel the deal definitely. Inter need reinforcements immediately and this soap opera about Paulinho risk becoming a replay of what happened with Lucas “because if you wait, other clubs could get involved” The same story once again?
