Barcelona to sanction Paulinho's exit

Barcelona are reportedly considering the potential sale of Paulinho this summer as they seek to pursue the signature of Willian from Chelsea.



Paulinho had a relatively good first season with the club with nine goals and two assists in the Spanish La Liga but the Catalan giants are still prepared to sanction his sale in order to recoup funds for Willian's transfer.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the Spanish champions have already received a transfer offer for Paulinho and his departure is likely to improve their chances of signing Willian from the Blues.

The west London giants have already turned down an opening bid worth £50m for their winger but they are likely to be tempted by a renewed offer, considering he will have turned 30 by the start of next term.

Barcelona won the Spanish league title with ease during Ernesto Valverde's first season in charge but he is still seeking to rebuild the squad after their failure to secure similar success in the Champions League.
