It seems that Paulinho's career with "Barcelona" team will not last long - it is said that the footballer has already reached an agreement with his former club in China and will soon return there.
Last summer, Paulinho was bought for 40 million euros from the "Guangzhou Evergrande" team. According to "Sport", the same team wanted to have the Brazilian player in their ranks again.
Interestingly, "Barca" will profit from this transfer - they are expected to receive 50 million euros.
The player himself, after an unsuccessful World Cup, also confirmed talks with the Chinese: "I intend to meet with my representatives and discuss the situation. I have received offers from China and some European clubs, but I do not rule out the possibility of staying in Barcelona."
Paulinho's season with the "Barcelona" team was very successful - he himself scored nine goals in 49 matches and won two titles, but the Brazilian was often criticized for his style of play and the fact that he is not the most suitable midfielder for their system.
