Corinthians star Paulinho keen on Inter move
Citaat:
Corinthians star Paulinho has revealed that he is keen to make the move to Serie A this summer and has invited Inter Milan to make an offer for him.
The 24-year-old has long been linked with a move away from his native Brazil, with the likes of Chelsea and Shakhtar Donetsk also interested in his services.
Both Corinthians and Paulinho have played down speculation in the past but the Brazil international has now revealed his desire to move to the San Siro, as reported on Goal.com.
He told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "Inter are a club well known all over the world. This is where Ronaldo and players such as Julio Cesar, Lucio and Maicon played. Who would not want to wear the Inter jersey?
"It's not a problem that they didn't win any trophies. They will be gunning for revenge. We are talking about a club that won it all just a few years ago.
"If Inter want me they will have to make a good offer for me. I'm feeling good in Brazil and I'm happy at Corinthians. The conditions will have to be right if I were to leave."
Paulinho’s buyout clause is estimated to be in the region of €20 million, with the midfielder’s contract not due to expire until 2015.
Muricy Ramalho is ook vlak na het vertrek van Neymar ontslagen bij Santos. De leiding gaf aan dat de resultaten tegenvallend waren, maar het vertrek van Neymar en de band die hij en zijn ex coach hebben zal daar ook een deel voor verantwoordelijk voor zijn.
Mano Menezes linked with Porto job
Citaat:
Former Brazil coach Mano Menezes is FC Porto's number one target to replace Vítor Pereira, according to reports in Portugal.
Mano Menezes has also been linked to Santos but a move is deemed unlikely to happen as the former Brazil manager has stated that he wants to work abroad.
The Brazilian manager was in Portugal last month and already had preliminary contacts with FC Porto's board, according to A Bola.
Porto officially neither deny nor confirm the interest, but the club have already decided that Vítor Pereira will not stay as they could not agree on a new contract.
Besides Mano Menezes, Vitória de Guimarães' manager Rui Vitória is the other main candidate for the job, but Porto's board are believed to prefer the Brazilian coach.
The new manager of Porto will only be announced on June 12, according to the club's president Pinto da Costa.
