Mônica Bergamo: Agro company sponsors Corinthians and announces Paulinho’s return to the team

Corinthians closed an unprecedented partnership with Grupo Taunsa, in agribusiness, and agreed to hire the player Paulinho.

The contract, which takes effect in January and runs until December 2023, will be signed by Paulinho this Wednesday (15th) in the morning at Parque São Jorge, in São Paulo.

It is the first time that a national agribusiness brand has signed a contract of this size with a team from the A series of Brazilian football. The partnership provides for Taunsa’s participation in the club’s content, physical and digital properties, as well as activations to be announced shortly.

In November, Corinthians’ negotiations with the player were anticipated by Ricardo Perrone’s column on UOL, but they had never been confirmed by the club.

Paulinho is an idol of the Faithful and was part of the Corinthians squad between 2010 and 2013, winning the Libertadores and Mundial titles with the club and also the Brazilian Championship in 2013. The 33-year-old midfielder has been without a club since terminating the agreement I had with Al-Ahly, from Saudi Arabia, in September. He’s already played for Barcelona and England’s Tottenham Hotspur.

Taunsa released a video to celebrate the partnership with the player. See below:

“I’m very happy to be able to play again with the Corinthians shirt, the club I love and which was the pillar of my entire career. I want to thank Grupo Taunsa for helping us make my coming possible and for believing in the greatest club in the world. Brazil. Now it’s back to playing alongside Fiel with the certainty that we’re going to make history together again,” says Paulinho, in a statement.

Headquartered in Campinas (SP), Taunsa operates in five agribusiness areas: agriculture, agro-information, storage, logistics and trade. The investment in the partnership with Corinthians is part of the company’s expansion and internationalization strategy, which should invest R$ 5.7 billion by 2028, which will make the company a national leader in storage and one of the three largest soy exporters in Brazil.
