Paulinho: I want to stay at Corinthians

"Corinthians are doing everything they can to keep me," Paulinho told fcinternews.it. "I want to remain here and I hope that my future is resolved as soon as possible so that I can play without having any distractions. "Inter have not spoken directly with me but they have spoken to my representatives. I want to reward Corinthians for their willingness to keep me. Wherever I go, I will nevertheless win.
