By Matt Law, Football Editor | 07 July 2018

Barcelona midfielder Paulinho has revealed that he could return to China in this summer's transfer window.

The 29-year-old joined Barcelona from Guangzhou Evergrande last summer, and scored nine times in 49 appearances for the Spanish giants during the 2017-18 campaign.

Paulinho has been linked with a return to the Chinese Super League in recent days, however, and the midfielder has conceded that he could depart Camp Nou after just one season.

"I'm going to Barcelona to talk to my representative about this matter," Paulinho told Onda Cero. "I have an offer from China and one from another club, although it's not certain that I'll leave. We need to talk."

Paulinho was a part of the Brazil side knocked out of the 2018 World Cup at the quarter-final stage by Belgium on Friday night.
