Paulo Henrique Sampaio Filho

Paulo Henrique Sampaio Filho

Paulinho attacks space with sharp runs beyond the line and finds pockets between the lines. Paulinho rose at Vasco da Gama, moved to Bayer Leverkusen, then shone for Atlético Mineiro, turning point the 2023 Série A top-scorer season. Paulinho keeps driving through the half-spaces. He won Olympic Gold with Brazil in Tokyo. At Palmeiras since 2025, Paulinho wears No. 10 and operates as a roaming forward who drops to receive and accelerate. He presses high, checks short then spins in behind, threatening the back post and finishing moves. Paulinho earns a Brazil senior call-up during the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers.
