Jakarta - Guanzhou midfielder Evergrande Paulinho is looking forward to moving to Barcelona soon. Paulinho does not even matter if it can be a smaller salary in Barca.

"I have to talk to the president, but since I received an offer from Barca I do not stop thinking about it and I hope everything can be done this week," said Paulinho as reported by ESPN FC.
"I ask my agent to speed things up so it can be completed this week as the transfer market (in China) closes soon, it will not affect my desire to leave, but it will prevent Guangzhou from bringing in a replacement."

"The players can earn money wherever they play.The important thing for me is to be happy with my decision, so if Barca offers less than Guangzhou, it does not matter because I will play for one of Europe's biggest teams," said the 28-year-old. That year.
