Juventus and AC Milan have both expressed an interest in signing Tottenham Hotspur’s out-of-favour midfielder Paulinho.

The 26-year-old Brazilian international was on the scoresheet for Spurs during Wednesday’s 4-2 League Cup success over Burnley, but has failed to hold down a regular first team role in the Premier League campaign this season.

TuttoMercatoWeb are reporting the Bianconeri are prepared to take the former Corinthians star on a permanent transfer, while the Rossoneri are working on a loan deal.

Roberto Mancini’s Inter are also rumoured to be monitoring the situation, with the Nerazzurri long term admirers of Paulinho, having missed out on the midfielder in July 2013, Paulinho opted to join Tottenham for a fee in the region €22 million.

Paulinho has made 35 appearances for the Seleção, scoring five goals and also receiving the Bronze Ball at the 2013 Confederations Cup as the competition’s third best player.
