34-Year-Old
Free Agent
Out of contract
Paulo is out of contract and is headed to free agency, Seattle announced.
ANALYSIS
Paulo's time in Seattle comes to an end after six seasons. The midfielder fell out of favor in 2025, making just 11 appearances for 477 minutes. With youngster Obed Vargas coming into his own, there just wasn't room for Paulo in the starting XI, he now can look for a new club elsewhere.
