PAULINHO GIFTS MERCEDES-BENZ TO DRIVER FOLLOWING €40M BARCELONA SWITCH
The Brazil international has left Chinese Super League side Guangzhou Evergrande to head back to Europe, with his generosity hailed upon his departure
Paulinho is making a €40 million move to Barcelona, but has left a lasting impression in China with Guangzhou Evergrande.
The 29-year-old midfielder is heading back to Europe two years after calling time on a forgettable spell in England with Tottenham.
While he may have struggled to produce his best in the Premier League, Paulinho has seen his profile rise again on the back of his exploits in the Chinese Super League and with the Brazilian national side.
A high-profile switch to Camp Nou is his reward, with Barca having acquired a player who is hoping to show that he remains a class act both on and off the field.
He will certainly be missed by Guangzhou, with his generosity – which included gifting his Mercedes-Benz car to his driver upon his departure – being hailed by senior staff member Liang Ke.
He posted on his weibo account: “Paulinho never put on any airs. He says hello or thank you to almost everybody and always meets the needs of others.
“He is reluctant to receive any money, instead, he loves giving. For example, he gave his pair of Beats headphones and [Mercedes-Benz] car to his driver.
“His gesture of goodwill is not determined by his high salary. There are tons of people who are richer than Paulinho, but few are as generous and broadminded as him.”
