Palmeiras product unveiled by Portuguese giants | OneFootball

Palmeiras has another Academy graduate standing out in international soccer. Pedro Lima, one of Verdão’s standout youth players in 2023, impressed in the most recent Portuguese season.

After shining for AVS in Portugal, the midfielder was announced by Sporting this Thursday (28) on a contract running until 2031.

A Palmeiras supporter since childhood, Pedro Lima left Verdão in 2024, when he had loan spells in English and Croatian soccer. In 2025, he left Palmeiras permanently and took a new step in Portuguese soccer.

Palmeiras savings

Pedro Lima is another one of the players who will continue to bring money to Palmeiras until the end of his career. Not only through FIFA’s solidarity mechanism, but also because Verdão always keeps a percentage of its youngsters when they are transferred for free or for small fees.

In recent interviews, João Paulo Sampaio said he calls this mechanism the ‘Palmeiras savings account’—money that keeps growing and filling the club’s coffers throughout the season.
