Brazilian club Corinthians have reportedly rejected Chinese club’s big-money bid for Peru international striker Paolo Guerrero, according to Brazilian news site Lancenet.
The Timão have allegedly turned down a bid for the Peruvian forward from a Chinese team in early July; however, talks did not succeed upon request of coach Mano Menezes, who sees Guerrero as a fundamental piece in the attack.
In addition to the Peruvian forward, Corinthians also have Luciano, Romarinho, Romero and Malcom; however, after negotiations for Marcelo failed, Mano Menezes is still looking for one more striker.
It is worth mentioning that Guerrero left Germany Hamburger SV to join Brazilian side Corinthians on a 3 million euro transfer fee in June 2012.
Peruvian footballer, 30, who plays for Sport Club Corinthians Paulista and the Peruvian national team, is known to be a skillful supporting forward who displays good hold up play and passing abilities.
