The Barça will struggle by Paulinho to the end, until 31 August. The Barcelona club sees indispensable the arrival of a physical midfield player to help to the team in some concrete parties of the season. And the Brazilian of the Guangzhou, that will do 29 years in some days, is the one who more likes.
So much that the Barça is had to make a last offer, as it publishes the "Sport" this Monday in his web page. After the president of the Chinese club said 'no' to a first proposal of 20 millions and a second of 25 2, the new Barcelona offer would surpass the 30 million euros but would not arrive to the 40. This new proposal, that would be last, would have made after having softened the relations with the maximum mandator of the Guangzhou.
As it explained the "Daily ACE" the past Friday, Xu Jiayi showed annoying by the forms of the Barça to carry the negotiations without respecting the proprietary club. It arrived to especular even with a complaint, but in the last days the club culé has worked this appearance and the situation has changed.
Now, the climate seems more favourable and everything aims to that the Guangzhou would be had to leave to leave to his footballer of reference. The technician Scolari also would have approved the operation because it is conscious that the player has the head more in Barcelona that in China and is an only opportunity in his age.
A profile Keita
This type of player -physical, sacrificed but no exento of a point of technical- missed in parties of Champions. Without going more far, the two horrible nights of the Barça in Paris and in Turín. Thus the Barcelona directive sees in Paulinho to an important player, that could fulfil a similar role to the of Keita does years.
