Paulinho greets Barcelona and returns to China, always at the Guangzhou Evergrande, where he played until summer 2017. The official was given today by the Asian club. According to what they say in Spain, the Brazilian midfielder, 30 years old to be held on 25 July, is forced to backtrack for about 14 million euros. Since its sale, the blaugrana should collect around 50 million euros, realizing a good capital gain, given that in 2017 it had been purchased for about 40 million.
Paulinho was the holder with Brazil at the World. After the defeat with Belgium in the quarterfinals, he had publicly announced that he had a substantial offer from China, plus another proposal from a European club, whose name was not mentioned. Evidently the former Corinthians and Tottenham did not have to think about much, if already today the Evergrande could formalize its purchase. Paulinho closes his experience of only one season in Barcelona with 49 official appearances, 9 goals (all in La Liga) and two trophies in the palmares (La Liga and the King's Cup).
