Keep up-to-date with all the Paul the Psychic Octopus news on our Facebook Fan Page

Paul the Psychic Octopus who has wowed the world with his run of correct World Cup predictions, including his tip that Spain would beat Holland in last night's World Cup final is at the centre of a bidding war 

According to the Daily Telegraph, Spanish businessmen based on the Costa Del Sol are launching an audacious hostile bid to bring the octopus to Spain and rename him Paulo, using him as a mascot at a major food festival. 
 
Our insider sources suggest Golden Palace Online Casino which famously bought the Pope's old car on eBay is about to make a bid to buy the octopus from the Oberhausen Sea Life Centre in Germany as fears mount over his safety in Germany and as animal rights activists lodge complaints about the Spanish Businessman Food Festival bid. German newspapers have been running a series of Octopus recipes following the correct prediction that Spain would beat Germany.

As reported earlier Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero has told a Spanish radio station he was worried about the octopus' safety and is considering offering the octopus Spanish security. He said: "I am concerned for the octopus ... I am thinking of sending him bodyguards" and Spain's Environment and Fisheries Minister Elena Espinosa went one step further:  "Today, I shall be at the European Council of Ministers and I shall be asking for a (fishing) ban on Paul the octopus so the Germans do not eat him" she said.

Golden Palace Online Casino have not responded to our attempts to contact them this morning.
