São Paulo agree loan deal for right-back Pedro Lima | OneFootball

The 20-year-old player was with Wolverhampton (England) and arrives on a contract until June 30, 2027

São Paulo have completed the signing of right-back Pedro Lima, 20, who arrives on loan from Wolverhampton, England, until June 30, 2027.

“It is an honor to wear such a historic shirt. I’m very eager to meet the Tricolor fans. And together, I hope we can write great chapters,” celebrated São Paulo’s new signing.

Developed by Sport Club do Recife and regarded as one of the great promises of Brazilian football, the young player has earned several call-ups to Brazil’s youth national teams: he played in the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup.

At the beginning of last year, at 18, he was also called up for the South American U-20 Championship, but was not released by Wolverhampton, as he was already part of the English club’s first-team squad.

CAREER

Pedro Henrique Cardoso de Lima was born in Cabedelo, Paraíba, and began his journey in futsal before joining Sport in 2021, at the age of 15, where he quickly emerged as one of the breakout talents in northeastern Brazilian football.

In 2023, the right-back was called up to represent Brazil at the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Indonesia. The following year, he was promoted to the first team of the Pernambuco club and won the state championship with a decisive performance in the final: he provided an assist in the first leg, a 2-0 win over Náutico.

His performances for the Ilha do Retiro side drew the interest of Wolverhampton, England, who finalized the signing of the young player, then just 18 years old, in July 2024.

At the beginning of last year, at 18, he was also called up for the South American U-20 Championship, but was not released by Wolverhampton, as he was already part of the English club’s first-team squad.

After his first experience in European football, the player was loaned to Porto B of Portugal from September 2025 to January 2026, when Wolves requested his return.

Since the beginning of the year, Pedro Lima had been with the English club until his move to Tricolor.
