Brazil midfielder Paulinho says he would relish the chance to play for Inter Milan amid reports his agent is trying to secure him a move to Europe.
The 24-year-old, who netted the equaliser for Brazil against England on Sunday, currently plays for Brasileirao outfit Corinthians.
Roma, PSG, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Shakhtar have all been linked with a move for the midfielder, who was part of the Corinthians team that beat Chelsea in the World Club Cup final in December.
When quizzed about reported interest from Inter Milan, Paulinho revealed he would jump at the chance to play at the San Siro.
"I said and I repeat: I would go for sure to Inter. They are a club known all over the world," he told Gazzetta dello Sport. "There played Ronaldo, Julio Cesar, Lucio, Maicon. Who would not want to wear that shirt?
"The fact that Inter would not participate in the next Champions League is not a problem, because they surely will want to take revenge.
"But if Inter want me they have to come forward with a right offer. I'm not a kid. I'm fine in Brazil, I play in a strong side like Corinthians and I'm one of the Selecao's regular eleven. I must have the right motivations to leave all that."
Corinthians' director of football Edu Gaspar confirmed the player's agent is in Europe discussing potential deals and says the club are willing to sell him if he no longer wants to play at Estadio do Pacaembu.
"We know [Paulinho's agent] Giuliano Bertolucci is in Europe, but we don't know what exactly he is doing, nothing official has come to us," he told Bandeirantes. "If the player wants to move, it's pointless to keep him, to have an unhappy player."
Clayton sees his current deal expire next summer but unless the Alex can persuade the 18-year-old to pen fresh terms then they may be forced to offload him before that to prevent the possibility of losing out financially at a compensation tribunal.
Clayton rejected on offer during last season but a hopeful Davis will look to this week reopen contract talks with the England Under-19 international, who has been linked with several Premier League and Championship suitors.
"I will speak with Max's agent this week and see how it goes. Max knows my opinion on the matter and that I think his future is here with us," Davis told Crewe's official website.
"We offered him a contract extension at Christmas time and he rejected that so we will have to see if that has changed. I think he would benefit from having another year playing for us at this level.
"He was just beginning to adjust to this league and what it entails. He was playing well towards the end of the season and recently scored for England.
"Players develop at different times and perhaps he sees Nick (Powell) going on (to Manchester United) and doing what he has done but you have to be patient. He needs another year or so with us. In my opinion he is not ready.
"If Max plays well in our team and scores goals then any move would take care of itself."
