Paulinho's statistics amplify his significance: 120 appearances, 50 goals, and 12 assists paint a portrait of a player who has consistently delivered for his team. His contributions have been integral, including performances in critical matches such as the Copa do Brasil.

Atlético’s internal communications suggest he may only begin transitioning back to full training by June, creating additional layers of negotiation complexity.
