Guangzhou is studying the possibility of filing a lawsuit against Barcelona because of attempts to get Paulinho without the consent of the Chinese club.

According to the leaders, Barcelona for several weeks negotiated with the player, despite the reluctance of Guangzhou to negotiate. The bosses of Evergren unilaterally decided to close the negotiations on the transfer and do not intend to return to this issue.

It is worth noting that in China, the transfer market closes on July 14, and the only option for Barcelona remains the payment of compensation of 40 million euros.

"There are no agreements. Paulinho did not finish training with the first team because a number of players were replaced, this is a normal coaching rotation, when the coach tries different scenarios in a training match, "- said a source close to the club.

Earlier, Barcelona made two proposals for Paulinho, offered 20 and 27 million euros respectively. Guangzhou responded to these requests by refusal.
