Paulinho, born on 3 January 1995 (age 31), is a Brazilian left-back whose senior career has been shaped overwhelmingly by FC Midtjylland.
He has spent seven seasons with the Danish club, making 142 league appearances and scoring five league goals. That is where the substance of his career sits: a long, steady run at left-back rather than a trail of short stops and half-remembered moves.
His most productive league campaign came in 2019-20, when he scored once in 12 appearances for Midtjylland. It was not a career built on attacking numbers, but on durability and repeated selection over a long spell.
His current market value is around £595,000, according to Transfermarkt. Paulinho’s profile is a plain one: a Brazilian full-back whose career has been defined by sustained service at FC Midtjylland.
