According to Globo Esporte Futebol, Pedro Lima was contracted at the request of Dorival Júnior, the São Paulo manager. The 21-year-old player has been a regular starter for Mirassol this year, playing in 28 matches and starting 28 games for the team. He is now set to join São Paulo on a loan deal until the middle of 2027.
Globo Esporte Futebol reports that Pedro Lima's arrival will increase competition in the right lateral position, where Lucas Ramon has been a regular starter this season. Ramon has started 28 games for São Paulo and has been one of the team's most consistent players. However, with Pedro Lima's arrival, Ramon's place in the team is now under question.
The new player has already started training with the São Paulo squad and is expected to receive opportunities in the team's remaining 12 games of the season. Pedro Lima is eligible to make his debut against Internacional on Saturday at 21h at the Morumbis stadium.
