BREAKING NEWS: BARCELONA AGREES DEAL TO SIGN BRAZILIAN MIDFIELDER

Barcelona agrees deal to sign BRAZILIAN midfielder

Barcelona has gotten a breakthrough in their quest to reinforce their squad this season as they have reportedly agree deal to bring to Camp Nou, Guangzhou Evergrande Midfielder Paulinho who has been in the Chinese Super League for two years

Paulinho was formerly with Tottenham Hotspur but was not able to impress and that led to his transfer to the CSL where he caught Barcelona’s attention. The deal for the Midfielder is said to be worth £36.5M. Barcelona already had three bids for the Midfielder turned down by Evergrande.

On Barca’s chase of Liverpool playmaker, Philippe Coutinho, Jurgen Klopp asked if the transfer request by the player changed anything, he said:

“You have to ask the club. I didn’t see the club today – those people. You have to ask them. But I don’t think so because I think it was pretty clear what the club, FSG, said about it”

The manager’s response still have left everything unclear, it means whether the club will sell Coutinho is dependent on what the transfer request does to the psyche of the owners and nothing to do with the manager.

On Ousmane Dembele, the manager says he will be holding talks with the board and also with the player and a decision will be announced tomorrow. With Real Madrid already in the race to sign the player, it makes it more difficult for Barcelona now as they will have to probably pay more than they would naturally bargain for.
