AVS SAD president discusses Sporting interest in Pedro Lima | OneFootball

Miguel Socorro, vice-president of AVS SAD, addressed Sporting’s interest in Pedro Lima. In that regard, the AVS official, without mentioning the Lions by name, admitted that there have been “approaches from several clubs and some things are quite advanced”.

“He came through the entire youth system at Palmeiras, he is very intelligent, and we believe in him a lot. We have had approaches from several clubs, some things are quite advanced, but nothing concrete. We will see what happens, but we believe we will be able to maximise his potential in this market,” he began by saying, in statements to Sport TV.

Miguel Socorro admits that signing Pedro Lima was a deliberate move from the outset: “We believed in his potential from the moment we signed him. He needed some time to adapt, but as the games went by he started to show himself, and this end of the season has proven his ability.”

Avoiding speaking about Sporting’s interest in the player, the vice-president of AVS SAD concluded by praising the Brazilian midfielder’s qualities: “Those who work with him every day know that he is 100 percent professional, always with his feet firmly on the ground. We believe he could leave in this transfer window and that he has enormous potential.”

This season, wearing the AVS SAD shirt, Pedro Lima – valued at €400,000 – has made 28 appearances: 25 in the Liga Portugal Betclic and three in the Portuguese Cup. In the 2,058 minutes he has been on the pitch, the midfielder scored six goals and provided two assists.
