Deal Sealed Today: Pedro Lima Joins Sporting

Deal done. Following Rodrigo Zalazar, Sporting confirmed their second new signing for the 2026/2027 squad this Friday. We're talking about Pedro Lima, the 23-year-old Brazilian midfielder, who finalized the details of his agreement with the Lions in recent hours. He has long been a desired target for Sporting, and as A BOLA had previously reported, everything is now settled with a deal valid for the next five seasons. 

With six goals and two assists in 29 appearances, making him one of Aves SAD's standout players, Pedro Lima is preparing for the biggest step in his career after developing at Palmeiras (Brazil), Norwich (U23), Osijek (Croatia), and Aves SAD this season. The transfer fee for this operation, as far as could be ascertained, is around €4 million. This confirms the Lions' second reinforcement, following Zalazar, who was also officially announced this afternoon.
