On September 19, Brazilian media personality Samir Carvalho broke the news that Paulinho, who was previously released from his contract with Jeddah National, is expected to return to Brazil and join Corinthians.
It is reported that Paulinho has opened transfer negotiations with Corinthians and will most likely join the Barclays Premier League giants. The player himself revealed that the reason behind his sudden termination is saddening: "In the last three weeks, I have suffered a lot of misfortune. After communicating with the club's executives, I told them that my family in Brazil had suffered a major change - the house where my parents live unfortunately caught fire and my mother fell ill, so I had to return to Brazil."
