Diogo Boa Alma hails Sporting signing: Known him since 2022 at Palmeiras | OneFootball

Diogo Boa Alma, former sporting director of clubs such as Vitória de Guimarães, Vitória de Setúbal and Santa Clara, guarantees that Pedro Lima will thrive at Sporting. Familiar with the quality of the Brazilian footballer, the executive revealed that, before joining AVS SAD, he recommended the player's signing to the club's structure.

"As for Pedro, I may be biased, I've known him for a long time, since 2022, from Palmeiras' Copinha triumph. Interestingly, he was the only player I recommended to AVS before I joined. I recommended him and then we ended up having the good fortune to work together," he said in comments to Record newspaper.

The 44-year-old executive was not surprised by the growth of the Brazilian midfielder in recent times. "His growth and rise do not surprise me, especially with João Henriques, who did a great job with him", he stressed.
