Kind of fallen into ruin throughout the late 2010's, 33-year old former Barcelona FC and Brazilian national team deep-lying midfielder José Paulo Bezerra Maciel Junior, best known as Paulinho, might get to benefit from a fresh start into Turkish football, which he has to date never experienced. A free agent right now, after having parted ways with Saudi side Al-Ahli, Paulinho, previously fending for Tottenham, Corinthians and Guangzhou FC as well, is allegedly tracked by Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray indeed.

Capping 56 times for Brazil, between 2011 and 2018, and scoring 13 goals therein, Paulinho, across his career as a pro club player, capped 601 times overall, scoring 157 goals altogether.
