Baldini was appointed 19 June. Paulinho came on 6 July.
By all accounts Baldini was out there doing the negotiating. He also has a strong relationship with Corinthians - quite a few of his Roma signings came from there.
Pretty sure we were already negotiating before Baldini came in but seeing as though you have the credentials i will take your word for it . . .
