The Brazil international held a press conference on Monday, one day
after lifting the Confederations Cup with his country, to confirm he is
leaving the Sao Paulo club.
The club also said in a statement on their website that Spurs were
set to pay 20 millions euros (£17million) to release the player from his
current deal.
"It's hard to say anything at a moment like this, but I am sure those
were three wonderful years in my career, with many titles and working
with the right people, who always helped me," Paulinho, 24, told
reporters.
"What I have to say to Corinthians is 'see you soon'. Pretty soon I'll be back, owing to everything you have done for me."
The statement from Corinthians thanked Paulinho for his contribution
to the team, with the midfielder helping them win the Campeonato
Brasileiro in 2011 and both the Copa Libertadores and the Club World Cup
last year.
He scored 34 goals in 167 appearances for the club and was also
instrumental in Brazil's 3-0 victory over Spain yesterday in the final
of the Confederations Cup.
Spurs offered no comment when contacted on Monday night.
