The Brazilian international Paulinho is back in Guangzhou Evergrande after a season in Barcelona
The 29-year-old Spaniard has joined Barcelona last summer, disputing 34 games in La Liga, scoring 9 goals and by badisting three others.
The midfielder's performances have been deemed pretty good by the Brazilian manager Tite to include him in La Selecao's global selection, but it seems that the hierarchy of Barcelona judges his surplus services and he will be sent back in China for a year. "The level of the Super League has improved year by year and the prospects for development are very good," said Paulinho, according to the Guangzhou Evergrande newspaper. After training in Evergrande and Barcelona, and after the Brazilian National Team in World Cup, I had a good experience.
