The Paulinho transfer is taking a dark turn
There has been a lot of confusion regarding Barça’s interest in Guangzhou’s Paulinho. How is a Premier League flop moving to Barcelona for an eye-watering €40 million? Has Barcelona lost its minds? Are we really going from Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta to Paulinho?
There has been online speculation that there is more to Paulinho’s transfer than just sporting reasons.
Josep Maria Bartomeu Floreta is a partner and CEO at ADELTE Group which is into designing, manufacturing, supplying and maintaining airports, seaports and road transport operations.
Apparently, ADELTE Group is expanding into China and are bidding on projects like the Ocean FLower Island built by the Evergrande group which also happens to be the parent organisation of—you guessed it—Guangzhou.
There are rumours that Florentino Perez’s ACS was also bidding for the project, but with the Paulinho transfer concluded, could be handed over to ADELTE Group and/or associates.
If true, this is abominable behaviour from the club president—it is shameful that Barcelona has merely become a tool for Bartomeu’s personal gains.
There is still no concrete source or information and everything is merely speculation, but the Paulinho transfer is definitely more than what it appears on the surface.
