Farioli confirms Pedro Lima’s return to Wolves | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli took advantage of the FC Porto transfer market topic to confirm, during this Saturday's press conference, the departure of Pedro Lima from the squad, as he has been called back to Wolverhampton.

“The only news I can talk about now is that Pedro Lima will return to Wolverhampton because they called him back. He was a player with a great attitude. I wish him the best and hope everything goes well in his new challenge at Wolverhampton,” the Porto coach began during the press conference previewing the match against Santa Clara.

“Regarding the players, the January market is always a very complicated scenario. A big offer can come in the last hours, so we never know, and we have to be prepared for all scenarios,” he continued.

The coach also revealed that he maintained his sense of humor by jokingly asking the players to turn off their phones while the transfer window is open.

“What I can say is that all the players who are here are happy and want to be at FC Porto. I think we have the same desire and ambition. If any offer comes, I hope my players turn off their phones, and that's it,” he added.

Although it is unlikely that there will be more departures, unless an irresistible offer comes in, Francesco Farioli did not rule out the possibility of reinforcements arriving, following the recent signing of Thiago Silva, who will be integrated very soon, although he issued a warning to potential reinforcements about the club's demands.

“Market? After tomorrow's game, we will have more time to think. We have some long-term injuries, so we will have to consider. Thiago Silva will join us. Then we will explore some options that offer stability. Anyone who comes to FC Porto will have to understand what this club is,” completed the FC Porto coach.

Pedro Lima played only nine games for the B team of the Dragons, having recorded one assist this season.
