With the Catalans struggling to accommodate a host of non-European Union players, however, Paulinho has been released back to Guangzhou.   "Welcome back," Guangzhou wrote on their official website alongside a picture of the 29-year-old, who formed part of Brazil's World Cup squad in Russia. Barcelona also confirmed the sale, wishing Paulinho "the best of luck" for the future.  The player spent almost three years with the Chinese Super League club in his first spell, playing almost 100 games with the giants and lifting back-to-back CSL titles. Paulinho's exit will open up a spot for compatriot Arthur, who is set to join the Blaugrana from Gremio this summer.Colombia's Yerry Mina is another player whose future appears uncertain at Camp Nou, with interest from Everton arising for the central defender.</blockquote>
