Corinthians insist midfielder Paulinho is not on his way to Chelsea or Inter Milan.

Corinthians director of sport Roberto de Andrade has played down talk linking Paulinho with a move away before the close of the transfer window.

"At the moment, Inter have not made contact with us," Andrade told Calciomercato.it.

"I can assure you we have not received any offers from Italy, nor from Chelsea for our player."
