Barcelona midfielder Paulinho returns to Chinese Super League

Paulinho has returned to the Chinese Super League, agreeing a move from Barcelona to Guangzhou Evergrande after less than a year in La Liga.
He will rejoin Guangzhou on an initial six-month loan, with a compulsory purchase option from December 31.
The midfielder was a surprise arrival at Camp Nou last summer, completing a switch towards the end of the transfer window following the sale of Neymar.
