Late at night on June 20, Guangzhou Football Club unveiled the news that it had reached an agreement with Brazilian star Paulinho to terminate his contract. With Paulinho's farewell, the Chinese Super League also announced the end of an era of foreign aid superstars. How the Chinese Super League will evolve in the future is a matter of great suspense.

The club revealed in the announcement, in view of the complex and severe situation of the global new crown epidemic, in accordance with the domestic epidemic prevention policy, Paulinho can not return on time to fulfill the contract. Under the friendly negotiation, the two sides reached an agreement to formally terminate the contract. Paulinho also expressed his sadness on social media, "because of the epidemic, today had to wave goodbye to Evergrande, the heart is full of sadness." Epidemic, became the Paulinho and the Chinese Super League edge broken fuse.

Paulinho returned to Brazil with his family at the end of the season last year. At the beginning of this year, under the arrangement of Guangzhou club, he tried to return to our country. Once, Paulinho's family has flown to Europe, waiting for the flight back to China, but because of the sudden situation at home in Brazil, he took his family and diverted to Europe back to Brazil. This accident makes Paulinho and our country temporarily have no connection. Subsequently, the Guangzhou club repeatedly arranged for Paulinho and his family to return to China, but due to China's strict immigration policy, he has never been able to bring his family back to the team. Until today, Paulinho has lost patience and has repeatedly applied to the club for termination of his contract.

Guangzhou FC will still have to pay Paulinho's salary during the time he is unable to return to the team. Guangzhou, which was in transition, also agreed to terminate Paulinho's contract in order to save money. Under the amicable negotiation between the two sides, they finally chose to part ways peacefully. In fact, Paulinho is not the only foreign aid player who has been prevented from returning to the Chinese Super League by the epidemic.

Earlier, Guangzhou's foreign aid Talisca has also moved away from the team. Beijing Guoan's Augusto, Shandong Luneng's Guedes, Moises and other players are currently inaccessible for the time being. During this period, there have been frequent rumors about Augusto, Guedes and others requesting transfers. The inability of these foreign aiders to return to the team on time not only makes the Chinese Super League clubs bear financial losses, but also affects the competitive level of the league.
