Barcelona made an offer for Paulinho. Guangzhou Evergrande said no. Barcelona made another offer. Still no. Barcelona made a “final offer.” Guangzhou said no again. The Chinese transfer window closed.
That should be the end of the saga, right?
Well, no, says Diario SPORT. True, Chinese clubs may not purchase players anymore, but they can still sell them. And here comes Barcelona with another “final offer” (for real this time, we promise).
The report says Barcelona are confident about signing the Brazilian midfielder, and consider “no alternatives” to his signing.
