Pires represented Benfica from 2018 to 2021. He will link up with former Porto forward Tiquinho Soares at the São Paulo club.

His arrival comes with Mirassol competing on several fronts in 2026, with experience seen as a key asset for the season ahead.

On deadline day, Santos confirmed the return of Lucas Veríssimo, 30, the centre-back who played for Benfica between 2021 and 2023, after a spell at Al Wakrah in Qatar.
