He should start to plan for his future.“Barcelona are a world-famous top club, he should go there to earn a reputation and enhance his influence. “If he cares more about the salary, then perhaps staying in China is an option. But, whether he will stay or leave, Paulinho is still a great player with a fantastic personality.  “Wherever he goes, he will be grateful for everything that has led him to this point.”Silva discovered Sao Paulo native Paulinho as a youngster, having also helped to unearth top talents such as Kaka, Oscar and Cafu. The classy midfielder rose to prominence while with Corinthians, earning him a transfer to Spurs in 2013.While he struggled to produce his best in the Premier League, Paulinho has impressed in China – netting 27 times in 93 appearances – while becoming a key figure for Brazil. Talk of a switch to Barca came as a surprise to many at first , but the La Liga giants are in need of reinforcements and will soon have money to spend as a proposed €222 million switch for Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain edges ever closer.</blockquote>
