Paulinho reportedly nearing move back to Brazil
According to Bild information, Palmeiras and Atlético Mineiro are both holding discussions to sign the Leverkusen winger.
The 22-year-old was left out of Leverkusen's squad on Matchday 2 due to poor performances in training. Paulinho moved to the Bundesliga from Brazilian side Vasco da Gama in 2018 and has since tallied 8 goals and 5 assists in 73 appearances.
Time is of the essence to get this deal through the door, as Brazil's summer window closes on Monday, August 15th.
