Inter defender Juan Jesus has said that his club should do all they can to sign fellow Brazilian Paulinho from Corinthians.
The dynamic midfielder has long been linked with a move to the Nerazzurri, with recent reports suggesting the Italian side are now ready to make a move, following the sale of Wesley Sneijder to Galatasaray this month.
Juan, who celebrated his one year anniversary at the club this week, believes that Paulinho would be a great signing for the club.
The 21-year-old said: “I know him, he’s a great player, he always gets into the box and scores a lot of goals.
“It’d be great for us if he does join Inter.”
The Seleção defender went on to comment on the future of teammate Philippe Coutinho, who has been linked with moves to Premier League sides Liverpool and Southampton.
He added: “I’d be sad if Coutinho left, but he needs to do what’s right for him. However it goes, whether he leaves or not, it won’t change our friendship.”
