Paulinho

In February 2026, a potential transfer to Fluminense reportedly did not proceed as the values involved were over €20 million. His market value was estimated by Transfermarkt at €6.00m at that time, and previously at €8.00m in April 2025. A recent completed transfer saw him move from Sporting CP to Toluca in July 2024 for a reported fee of €7.8 million.

Our valuation for Paulinho is primarily driven by the February 2026 report that a potential transfer to Fluminense collapsed due to the values involved exceeding €20 million. This indicates a high asking price from Toluca, supported by his strong goal-scoring record and a long-term contract renewed until 2028. His transfer from Sporting CP for €7.8M in July 2024 serves as a baseline that has clearly been surpassed by his performance in Mexico.
