Paulinho has been loaned back to Guangzhou

Paulinho has returned back to the Chinese league after just one season with Barcelona.

The player who was a key member of the Brazilian side that got knocked out at the quarterfinals has reportedly been signed on loan by Guangzhou, the Chinese side that sold him formerly to Barcelona.

Guangzhou are reportedly happy to have him back as they slipped down in his absence from being title winners to fifth position in the Chinese league.

They have signed him on loan for a reported £50million as against the £40 million that Barcelona paid for him.
