Sporting clear hurdles over Pedro Lima, presentation date set | OneFootball

will indeed become a Sporting signing for the 2026/27 season. After the agreement between the clubs was finalized in recent days, only a few bureaucratic details remained to be sorted out, and those have now been resolved, thus allowing the deal to be made official.

The 23-year-old Brazilian midfielder is expected to be unveiled by the Lions next week, after the Portuguese Cup final against Torreense. In this way, Pedro Lima will become Sporting’s second confirmed signing of this summer transfer window, after Rodrigo Zalazar, who was signed from Braga for 30 million euros.

The SAD led by Frederico Varandas will invest around 4 million euros to secure the AVS player, who has enjoyed a standout season in Portuguese football. In 29 official matches, Pedro Lima scored six goals and provided two assists, establishing himself as one of the standout figures in the Aves side.

Developed at Palmeiras, the midfielder also spent time with Norwich’s under-23s and Croatian side Osijek before making his mark in Portugal. The performances he produced in the final stretch of the season definitively convinced the Sporting hierarchy to move forward with the signing, which reportedly had ‘special’ help.

Pedro Lima will sign a contract valid for five seasons, until June 2031, and will be protected by a release clause set at 80 million euros. The Brazilian midfielder thus becomes part of the major overhaul that Sporting is preparing for the midfield of Rui Borges’ side.
