On 1 February 2016, Paulino returned to Spain and agreed to a two-and-a-half-year contract with Atlético Madrid, being assigned to their Juvenil A squad.[4] In July, he signed for Deportivo Alavés, being initially assigned to the reserves in Tercera División.[5]
Paulino made his senior debut on 28 August 2016, playing the last 29 minutes in a 4–0 home routing of Santutxu FC. He scored his first goal on 8 December, netting the game's only in an away defeat of Pasaia KE.
