Bayern Munich midfielder Julio dos Santos will be hoping to kick-start his career in Brazil after being loaned out to Atletico Paranaense.
The 25-year-old arrived in Germany after being named Paraguay's player of 2005, but failed to impress at the Munich giants, or any of his three loan clubs.
Having initially been earmarked as a replacement for Michael Ballack, he made only a handful of substitute appearances before spending loan spells at Wolfsburg, Almeria and Gremio.
He now returns to Brazil in an attempt to prove himself before his contract with Bayern ends next summer.
Soccer is not just about scoring goals - it’s about winning.
