Brazil midfielder Paulinho has explained that none of the clubs interested in buying him are as yet willing to pay his release clause.
Paulinho is under contract with Brazilian giants Corinthians and has attracted interest from England, in the form of Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, while in Italy he has continually been popular with Inter and Roma.
But with a release clause thought to be set at €20m, Paulinho is waiting for one of his suitors to put cold hard cash behind their interest.
And until then he is focusing on the summer’s Confederations Cup.

"Unfortunately, no team is willing to pay the amount of my release clause for the moment, so the rest is blah blah", he was quoted as saying by Le 10 Sport.
"Fortunately the goal I scored against Japan gives me a lot of happiness", the schemer added.
The 24-year-old is rated as one of the brightest midfield talents in Brazil and it remains to be seen if Corinthians can keep hold of him throughout the summer.
At international level Paulinho has won 14 caps for Brazil and will be confident of adding to that tally as the Confederations Cup continues.
