This Saturday (27), Corinthians confirmed the departure of right-back Paulinha from the women's team at the end of the 2025 season. The announcement was made through the club's social media in a farewell post for the athlete.

Paulinha had a contract valid until the end of the current season. After the runner-up finish in the Campeonato Paulista, the player mentioned that she was in talks with the management, but nothing was defined yet. With the end of the 2025 calendar, the club officially announced the end of the contract.

The right-back joined Corinthians in 2016 and was part of the rebuilding process of the club's women's football. Her first stint ended in June 2021, with a return confirmed at the beginning of 2022. Combining both periods, Paulinha played 256 matches wearing the alvinegra jersey, starting in 182 of them, scored nine goals, and won 17 titles.

With the number of trophies won, the player ranks among the most successful athletes in the history of Corinthians women's football, only behind Gabi Zanotti and Vic Albuquerque, both with 18 titles for the club.

Besides Paulinha, Corinthians has also confirmed the departure of defender Mariza, who is set to move to Mexican football, and goalkeeper Kemelli, who is expected to join Fluminense. On the other hand, the alvinegra management has secured the stay of Lelê, Erika, and Tamires. The situations of Gabi Zanotti, Eudimilla, and Letícia Santos are still being defined, with Eudimilla and Letícia likely to leave.

So far, Paulinha's next club has not been disclosed. Alongside the changes in the squad, Corinthians is working on assembling the group for the Copa das Campeãs, the FIFA Women's Club World Cup, which will be held between January and February.
