“We are looking for a striker with this profile. Pedro got injured and it could have been an opportunity for him to be here today, or in the next call-up. He can recover well and be in the March squad,” Carlo Ancelotti said at the end of 2025 about Pedro.

Pedro is enjoying a positive spell at Flamengo this season. The striker has scored 15 goals in 25 matches. In addition, he has provided four assists for his teammates. The No. 9 has already matched his 2025 goal tally with 14 fewer matches played.
