On May 19, Saudi news reported that following the success of former Chinese Super League star Talisca's move to Riyadh, another Brazilian star, Paulinho, is also expected to be the new addition.
Riyadh Success FC is actively operating to bring in new recruits, with the addition of Paulinho seen as a key step in the team's return to the top flight. Recently, Paulinho's fellow countryman Talisca has joined the team successfully. Paulinho himself has been stranded in Brazil since the outbreak of the epidemic at the end of last year, and although a number of Brazilian and Turkish clubs have thrown olive branches at him, the high salary requirement has once become an obstacle to the transfer.
With Paulinho's transfer negotiations now in the sprint stage and his contract with Riyadh Success about to be finalized, the Brazilian midfielder is expected to help the team's title push next season.
