Left-back Paulinho, a 31-year-old left-footed defender, is Botafogo’s newest signing for the second half of the 2026 season. The player has signed with Glorioso through the end of 2028 after arriving from Denmark’s Midtjylland, and is already with his new teammates at Glorioso’s training center, working toward the second part of the season. The date of the black-and-white signing’s official presentation will be announced later.
Paulo Victor da Silva made his professional debut in 2014 with Santo André, where he went on to win the second division of the 2016 Paulistão with the team. After a spell with Santos’ under-23 side, and seasons with Boa Esporte and São Bento, the full-back joined Bahia, where he won the 2019 Campeonato Baiano. That same year, Paulinho moved to Denmark’s Midtjylland, where he played for the last seven seasons, winning two Danish Cups and one Danish league title.
