Report: Inter still want Paulinho from Corinthians

Media sources in Brazil claim that Corinthians midfielder Paulinho is still a transfer target for Italian side Inter.

Globoesporte reports that Inter will make their move in the European winter transfer window in January despite the 24-year-old recently signing a new deal until 2015.

Paulinho, who scored his first goal for Brazil in their recent 2-1 win over Argentina, was strongly linked with a switch to either Inter or Arsenal over the summer.

The report claims that a deal is already in place between Inter and the Corinthians management team, despite the Brazilian club wanting to retain 50% of the player's registration rights.

Paulinho has played in Europe with Lithuanian outfit FC Vilnius and Polish side LKS Lodz, and has been with Corinthians since 2010.
