Paulinho Renews Contract with Toluca Until 2029

Paulinho has officially renewed his contract with Toluca, the Mexican football club confirmed on Monday. The 33-year-old Portuguese forward has signed a new deal that will keep him at the club until 2029.

Paulinho, who previously played for Sporting CP, joined Toluca in 2024 after leaving the Portuguese side. Since arriving in Mexico, he has established himself as a key player for the team, competing in Liga MX, the top tier of Mexican football. His impact has been significant, with the forward already scoring 20 goals in 29 matches during the current season.

The contract extension reflects Toluca's commitment to maintaining a strong squad as they aim to compete for titles. Paulinho's contributions have been instrumental in the club's recent successes, including being the top scorer in three different phases of the Mexican championship between the 2024/25 and 2025/26 seasons. His goals helped Toluca secure the championship title and the subsequent champion of champions trophy last season.

In addition to Paulinho's renewal, Toluca also announced the contract extension of midfielder Franco Romero, ensuring the retention of two of their main players. Paulinho's overall record at Toluca is impressive, with 49 goals in 72 official matches. He has also earned three caps and scored two goals for the Portuguese national team, highlighting his quality on the international stage.

Currently, Toluca is competing in the Clausura tournament and sits in sixth place after five rounds, with nine points accumulated. This position places them within reach of qualifying for the championship playoffs, where Paulinho's goal-scoring ability could prove crucial.

Looking ahead, Toluca will aim to build on their recent form and Paulinho's continued presence will be a key factor in their pursuit of further success in Liga MX. The club's management appears focused on stability and competitiveness as they prepare for upcoming fixtures and potential challenges in the transfer market.
