# Tottenham transfer target undecided over future

![Inter-Milans-interest-Paulinho-wants-to-stay-at-Corinthians-170630](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Inter-Milans-interest-Paulinho-wants-to-stay-at-Corinthians-170630.jpg)There are some confused faces today in the Football Transfer Tavern after it was claimed by [Metro](https://metro.co.uk/2013/06/23/paulinho-yet-to-decide-on-tottenham-transfer-3852357/) that Tottenham may still miss out on Corinthians midfielder Paulinho.

It had been thought that a fee had been agreed for the player who Andre Villas-Boas placed at the top of his wishlist this summer, yet now the player himself has spoken out and claimed that he still has a say in his future and is currently undecided over where it lies.

Spurs made the decision to bid the £17 million it would take to talk to the player after several clubs displayed their interest including La Liga giants Real Madrid, and whilst yesterday we thought it could well be a done deal, it seems there are still a host of lose ends to tie up before Spurs get a player that has impressed in the Brazilian national team in recent times.

Paulinho himself spoke after Brazil’s Confederations Cup victory over Italy – which he missed with an ankle injury- noting: “There is an official offer from Tottenham to Corinthians.

“But, as I did when there was an Inter Milan offer, I’ll sit and decide with my family before I make any decision. I will only do it after the Confederations Cup because it’s hard to deal with all these things.”
