​Neymar wants Paulinho in Barcelona

​
Neymar has declared his support for Barcelona, to sign his international teammate Paulinho.

Paulinho is currently playing for Guangzhou Evergrande in the Chinese Super League after a lack of form spell, at Tottenham Hotspur.

However, his disappointing spell in England has not deterred the Catalans, who made €20 million bid publicly rejected by the Chinese club, who insisted he is not for sale.

Neymar told SPORT, "I hope Paulinho signs for Barca", “He is a friend and a great player, everyone would receive him with open arms.

“He's got great quality, everyone has seen what he can do when he plays for the national team."

The 28-year old, has improved in form since his move to China, scoring 15 times in 58 league games for Guangzhou Evergrande.
