Paulinho motivated for Barcelona move after Neymar's comments
Guangzhou's Brazilian midfielder is grateful for Ney's words
He has no doubts: he wants to join Barça and play with Ney
Paulinho, who Barcelona hope to sign this summer, is enthusiastic about the possibility of playing alongside Neymar. The Barça star's comments at the weekend have left his Brazil team-mate without any doubts: he wants to play for Barcelona.
Neymar said that "Paulinho is my friend and he's a great player, everyone would receive him with open arms." He also added that he would add a lot to the squad: "He has great quality and everyone sees what he does with the national team."
For his part, Paulinho is ready to see a 25 percent decrease in his salary at Guangzhou Evergrande to sign for Barcelona and return to European football. In principle, Barça's offer will be worth 25 million euros plus two million more in variables.
In addition, Paulinho is convinced that signing for Barcelona will give him a much bigger chance of being a regular in Tite's Brazil side going into next summer's World Cup in Russia.
