Midfielder Paulo Henrique has progressed through the ranks at Santos and is ranked as one of the most exciting prospects in Brazilian football. Club president Luis Alvaro Ribeiro has revealed that the deal being thrashed out with City to bring Robinho back to Santos could allow the English team first refusal on talented youngsters Paulo Henrique and Neymar. But the 20-year-old insists that is not what he wants. "I don't want to play for Manchester City," Paulo Henrique told Globo Esporte. "I would prefer to play for a big club in Europe, such as AC Milan, Real Madrid or Barcelona."
