Paulinho transfer news
Talisca has joined the team for his return, yet the focus has turned to Paulinho. For Guangzhou, the No. 8 player is the mainstay of the team, yet the Brazilian star is once again in uniform, and the challenges are many. As previously reported by NetEase Sports, Guangzhou are open to Paulinho's retention.
For the team, Paulinho is undoubtedly the foreigner head coach Carnavaro would most like to keep. If he returns, the 41-year-old Zheng Zhi will not need to start every game and will be able to keep his energy up all over the field. Paulinho's presence in the midfield offense and defense has an immediate effect. He is not only the core of the team, but also the spiritual leader, who has repeatedly led the team to turn the tide against all odds. Guangzhou fans are overflowing with love for No. 8, who is undoubtedly the star player of the Guangzhou team.
For the club, there is nothing wrong with Paulinho if he chooses to stay, and if not, he can afford to do so. After all, he is 33 years old and his contract will expire in June 2022. The tricky issue at the moment is the outbreak of the epidemic, which has left Paulinho stranded in Brazil, unable to return to the team.
At the beginning of the year, the Brazilian had a chance to return to his home country, with players such as Allan, Fernando and Lo Guofu returning from Brazil in early January to take part in the national team training. However, the Guangzhou team training was 10 days later than the national team, Paulinho was not able to travel with them. The Guangzhou team arranged a return trip for Paulinho and his family, and there were even reports that he would return to the team in the near future, but in the end, due to personal reasons, Paulinho still stayed in Brazil. Brazil's epidemic intensified, the entry policy adjustment, resulting in Paulinho and other foreign aid so far unable to return to the country.
Guangzhou team normally pay Paulinho salary, but the league has started, the Brazilian can not play for the team. In this case, "leave" may be the best choice. Paulinho's annual salary of ten million euros, the Chinese Super League investment restrictions, his return to the team is undoubtedly a reduction in pressure on the club's operations. Talisca's departure is also for this reason.
Talisca, 27, is at his peak and teams are clamoring for a high bid that will offer a satisfactory salary. The same cannot be said for the 34-year-old Paulinho, who is willing to pay a high transfer fee to few teams, with a remuneration package that is a far cry from Guangzhou's €10 million level. As a result, Paulinho was eager to return to Guangzhou to fulfill the remainder of his contract, but the entry policy due to the epidemic prevented him from ever returning.
Unable to return to the team, leaving became inevitable. In the absence of offers from other teams, Guangzhou can only negotiate the termination of Paulinho's contract. It was reported that the two sides disagreed on the termination of the contract. The player believes that the club should compensate the full salary according to the contract, while the club believes that the salary of the remaining contract after the termination of the contract does not need to be borne.
July is the key period of the second registration of the Chinese Super League, if Paulinho is still unable to return to the team, the Guangzhou team will face a choice. Is it for Paulinho to keep the foreign aid quota, or completely give up the foreign aid? If retained, the Brazilian will still be able to play the first half of the season if he returns to the team in August, which is the most crucial half of the league season. If you give up, Paulinho, who has only half a year left on his contract with the team, will bid farewell to Guangzhou soccer.
