Paulinho has returned to the Chinese Super League, agreeing a move from Barcelona to Guangzhou Evergrande after less than a year in La Liga
The midfielder was a surprise arrival at Camp Nou last summer, arriving towards the end of the transfer window following the sale of Neymar.
He made a bright start to life at Barca, however, and while his form dipped later on he formed a key part of the team that won a domestic double in 2017-18.
In total the Brazilian made 49 appearances for Barcelona, scoring nine goals and adding a further three assists in all competitions.
