Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester City have all shown interest in securing the talents of Pedro Lima. The 17-year-old Brazilian prodigy is highly regarded as a promising prospect, and these top English clubs are closely monitoring his progress.
Lima earned a promotion to the Sport Recife senior squad earlier this year due to his outstanding displays at the youth level. As a right-back, he has already participated in 13 matches for the first team and has made three significant goal contributions.
The young adult has had a remarkable beginning to his professional career. His remarkable ascent and outstanding displays have garnered significant interest. Despite the fact that top clubs from various parts of Europe typically do not pursue players from the Brazilian second division, Lima is viewed as a valuable asset and has certainly piqued the curiosity of many.
Manchester City is among the clubs that have been linked to the young full-back. Audrio Magalhaes, their scout, traveled to Recife to observe the 17-year-old in action during the Campeonato Pernambucano final over the weekend.
According to the report, Magalhaes sat alongside the teenager’s agent, Renato Guimaraes, in a VIP box at the Arena Pernambuco to watch Sport face off against Náutico.
Although City is interested in the full-back, they are not the only English club that has scouted him. Liverpool and Chelsea have also recently scouted the teenager, potentially posing a challenge to the treble winners in securing his signature.
Both English clubs are constantly searching for players who can contribute in the long term, and they believe that the 17-year-old has the potential to become a remarkable player. Meanwhile, Sport chief João Marcelo Barros has acknowledged the significant interest in Lima, stating that it is not surprising to see scouts from top clubs observing him.
