It appears that PSG is poised to secure the services of Paulinho, a 24-year-old Brazilian midfielder currently playing for Corinthians, despite interest from Inter Milan during the winter transfer window. According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport on Saturday, the deal is expected to go through.
PSG already boasts a significant Brazilian contingent, including Thiago Silva, Alex, Maxwell, and Nene. The influence of PSG’s sporting director, Leonardo, is mentioned as a key factor in securing Paulinho’s transfer. Inter Milan’s sporting director, Piero Ausilio, acknowledged the challenges of competing against top clubs, stating, “Unfortunately, when this type of club arrives, there’s not much we can do.”
The statement suggests the financial and competitive power of PSG played a significant role in outmuscling Inter Milan for the acquisition of Paulinho. If the transfer goes through, Paulinho will join the ranks of PSG, adding to the Brazilian flair already present in the squad.
