BARCELONA 'TABLE FINAL OFFER FOR PAULINHO'

Barcelona have stepped up their pursuit of primary summer target Paulinho with one last bid, according to Sport.

The Spanish paper report that the Catalan giants have tempted Chinese Super League side Guangzhou Evergrande with an offer that exceeds £26m (€30m) but does not match Paulinho's £35m (€40m) release clause.

However, the transfer fee could potentially surpass the £35m mark depending on Paulinho's performances at the Nou Camp.
