THE BALL – Paulinho (Leverkusen winger): state of play (Sporting)

With the house almost tidy, as far as reinforcements go – after the signings of Jeremiah St. Juste, Morita, Franco Israel and Rochinha -, the lion is getting ready to enter a new stage of preparation for the new calmer season, especially in the renovation of the squad that, for now, has only lost Palhinha.

Even so, awaiting confirmation from Trincao, the lions will remain attentive to market movements and potential exits. And one of the main focuses of attention is centered on Paulinho, a 21-year-old Brazilian winger, who belongs to Leverkusen.

The German press continues to put the striker on the leonine route – with Ajax as the main competitor – but, for now, according to what A BOLA has learned, Sporting is not yet determined to move on to this signing. Also because the arrival of Rochinha, a 27-year-old striker who arrived this week from Guimarães, in exchange for €2 million euros, allowed the lion to reassure the lion regarding the reinforcement of the attacking wingers.

Paulinho is a target that has long been identified by Lions scouting, because he is preparing to enter the last year of his contract with the Germans, but, for now, Sporting will manage the process from a distance, keeping only attentive to the movements by the Brazilian.
