Paulinho to join Sporting CP on loan?
Sporting CP are said to be interested in taking Bayer Leverkusen's Paulinho on loan.
Bayer Leverkusen's Paulinho has attracted interest from Sporting CP, who want to take the winger on loan, according to Kicker.
The 19-year-old has struggled to live up to the expectations at BayArena following his €18,5 million move from Brazilian side Vasco da Gama and made just 15 appearances during his first season in Germany.
During pre-season, Leverkusen boss Peter Bosz praised Paulinho after testing him out in offensive midfield, but also stressed the youngster has a lot to learn, and it therefore seems conceivable that he could head out on loan.
