The left winger started his football journey at club Vasco da Gama, where he quickly became a prominent figure in the attacking line. In just his second professional game as an adult, he made an indelible mark on history. Paulinho became the youngest goalscorer in Serie A at 17 years and 9 days.
In 2018, the Rio de Janeiro native player added another record: he became the youngest Vasco da Gama athlete to score a goal in South America's most important competition, the Copa Libertadores. One year later, Bayer Leverkusen acquired the player for a record 25 million euros.
The attacker has a long experience with the Brazilian youth teams, being U-17 champion in 2019. The biggest achievement of Paulinho's career so far has been winning gold at the Tokyo Olympics. At that tournament, the Brazilians were able to defend their title: they won without suffering a single defeat. This confirmed that the curse of the “Selecao” failures at the Olympics had finally been lifted.
Paulinho is now on loan to Atlético Mineiro, where he has been quick to shine. Since his arrival at the club, Paulinho has been adding assists and goals to every game and has positioned himself as one of the stars of the Brasileirao this season. It remains to be seen whether his talent can dazzle in the shirt of the Brazilian national team.
Under the cooperation agreement, 1xBet has been granted the right to use the image of the 22-year-old player. There will also be a series of joint activities between the footballer and the global bookmaker on social networks Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
Plus, fans can look forward to being treated by 1xBet to an autograph session with the star. And all this means that millions of Paulinho supporters will be able to learn more about the exciting promotions, generous bonuses and high odds available to 1xBet users.
"Paulinho is an extremely talented guy. He is a role model for a lot of young Brazilian boys and girls who are passionate about football. We are confident that with the support of 1xBet, the footballer will achieve outstanding success both as a team player and as an individual," commented Alex Sommers, representative of betting giant 1xBet, on the launch of the partnership.
"I am happy to start this partnership with 1xBet. I hope that all football fans will enjoy this initiative and that it will be a new and different way to connect with the jogo bonito," said Paulinho, Atlético Mineiro's player and current team number 10.
