Paulinho admits to Barcelona offer and hints at possible snub

The Brazil international is enjoying his football in China with Guangzhou Evergrande and admits it would be "difficult" to leave for Camp Nou

Former Tottenham midfielder Paulinho has received an offer from Barcelona and admits he now faces a difficult decision.

The Brazil international is currently enjoying his football in the Chinese Super League with Guangzhou Evergrande.

His efforts in Asia, alongside those with his country, have sparked talk of a possible return to Europe, with Bayern Munich also among those said to be keen.

Paulinho admits that an approach has been made from Camp Nou, with Goal having revealed that talks were opened on Wednesday, but he would face fierce competition for places with the La Liga giants and has hinted that he could snub Barca’s advances.
