Pedro Lima has signed for Sporting, contract details revealed | OneFootball

Pedro Lima is now officially a Sporting player. The 23-year-old midfielder has signed a contract until 2031 and is protected by an €80 million release clause, becoming another signing secured by Sporting’s SAD for the 2026/27 season.

The player will only be officially unveiled next week, after the Lions’ Portuguese Cup final against Torreense, scheduled for Sunday, May 24, at the Estádio Nacional, with kick-off set for 5:15 pm.

To secure the signing from AVS, the Lions invested a fixed €4 million, with the deal potentially reaching €6 million depending on sporting objectives. Developed at Palmeiras, Pedro Lima stood out this season playing for the Aves side, finishing the campaign with six goals and two assists in 29 matches.

The Brazilian therefore joins Rodrigo Zalazar, who has also already signed for the green and whites before joining the Uruguay national team. The next official announcement is expected to be that of Issa Doumbia, a midfielder signed from Venezia for €20 million, plus performance-related add-ons.

In addition, Sporting are also in advanced negotiations for Silas Andersen, a 22-year-old midfielder who plays for BK Häcken and could become the next signing for the Lions’ midfield. With these moves, the structure led by Frederico Varandas is beginning to shape a new “engine room” for Rui Borges’ team, at a time when Hidemasa Morita’s departure has already been confirmed and Morten Hjulmand and Daniel Bragança still have uncertain futures.
