Guangzhou tell Barcelona: 'Paulinho is not for sale'

Guangzhou Evergrande have told Barecelona to look for reinforcements elsewhere, after dismissing their approach for former Tottenham midfielder Paulinho.

The Chinese Super League club are reluctant to allow Barca to sign the Brazilian as it would be too expensive to sign a replacement, according to boss Luiz Felipe Scolari.

Guangzhou Evergrande could be charged a 100 per cent levy on transfer fees over 45 million yuan (£5.2 million) for foreign players as a result of new CSL transfer regulations, meaning it is paramount Paulinho stays.

Scolari said in quotes picked up by Marca: 'His release clause is €40million and none of the Chinese clubs will let their key players go because it would be difficult and expensive to find a replacement due to the new rules.'

It's still a week before many Premier League clubs officially report for pre-season training but Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho is already back on the bike.
