Barcelona’s signing of Paulinho was widely criticised, but he went on to prove most of his detractors wrong. He scored nine goals and helped the team to a league and cup double.
He moved back to Guangzhou Evergrande on an initial one-year loan, although the club have the option to sign him permanently for a fee which is believed to be more than the €40m Barcelona paid for him.
On this form you can see why Guangzhou Evergrande were so keen to bring him back to the club.
