It is expected that Barcelona will pay for Pauligno 40 million euros - this is the clausula prescribed in the Brazilian contract with Guangzhou Evergrend. 5% of this payment, according to FIFA rules, will go to "solidarity payments" to those clubs for which Paulinho played to 23 years.

Prior to this period, Paulinho managed to play for the Corinthians, Club Atletico Juventus, Bragantino and Audax in Brazil, as well as Polish Lodz and Lithuanian Vilnius.

Given the duration of the midfielder's stay in these clubs, Corinthians will receive 343,000 euros, Audaks 705,000, slightly less than 50 at Atletico Juventus, 150 Lodz and 191 Vilnius. The profit margin of Bragantino is not specified. It is worth noting that Tottenham, for which Paulineau spoke before leaving for China, will not receive anything.
