The 28-year-old is still regarded as one of the most reliable centre midfielders out there, so much so new Brazil coach Tite is regularly including him in his national team squad.
According to RMCSport, Bayern Munich has already made contact with the player’s entourage with Carlo Ancelotti who has requested the club’s board to sign the Brazilian in the summer.

Paulinho moved from Tottenham to Guangzhou Evergrande for € 14 million in 2015. During his two-year spell at the White Hart Lane, he played 64 games scoring 10 goals.
