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.
