Pedro Lima

Pedro Lima is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a right-back. Born Pedro Henrique Cardoso de Lima on July 1, 2006, he is contracted to Wolverhampton Wanderers and has spent the 2024-25 and 2025-26 seasons on loan at São Paulo in Brazil's Série A.

At 20, Lima is still a project player, but his profile is growing. He is known for his speed, overlapping runs and crossing from wide areas, traits that caught Wolves' attention when he was coming through the youth ranks at Sport Club do Recife. The English club signed him in 2024 and immediately sent him to São Paulo for regular first-team minutes, a patient development plan that keeps him in a familiar environment while he matures.

Lima has yet to score or assist in his Premier League appearances, and he has no senior awards or individual honours. His public profile is modest: he is not a household name, and his social media following is small compared to established stars. But within Brazilian football circles, he is watched as a young defender with room to grow. São Paulo fans discuss him as a squad player, and Wolves continue to track his progress, profiling him in a club feature in June 2026. [edit]

Pedro Henrique Cardoso de Lima was born on July 1, 2006, in Cabedelo, a coastal city in the state of Paraíba, Brazil. Not much about his childhood is publicly documented, but his football education took place at Sport Club do Recife, one of the northeast's most traditional clubs. There, he came through the youth system as an attacking full-back, developing the speed and crossing ability that would later attract European scouts.

His performances at youth level were strong enough that Wolverhampton Wanderers moved for him in 2024, beating competition from other European clubs. The transfer made him one of the youngest Brazilian defenders to join an English club in recent years. Rather than keep him in England immediately, Wolves loaned him to São Paulo to get regular first-team minutes in a familiar environment. That decision reflects a deliberately patient approach to his development, allowing him to adapt to professional football in Brazil before tackling the demands of English football. [edit]

Pedro Lima's breakthrough came in 2024 when Wolverhampton Wanderers signed him from Sport Club do Recife's youth setup. The English club, then in the EFL Championship, beat other European suitors to his signature. Rather than throw him into the English game right away, Wolves loaned him to São Paulo in Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, where he has been since 2024.

At São Paulo, Lima has featured in the first team, though his stats are modest: 12 appearances, 0 goals, 0 assists according to his Premier League profile. In October 2026, he was involved in a 2-2 draw away at Mirassol, a game that extended São Paulo's away run without a win. The match report noted he "cancelled an early gift" or "cancelled an early own goal," depending on the translation, a moment that drew some attention.

Wolves continue to monitor his progress. In June 2026, the club published a feature on him titled "All Around The World | Pedro Lima" to mark his 20th birthday. Speculation about a possible January exit from São Paulo has surfaced in Brazilian fan media, but no decision has been confirmed. For now, Lima remains a São Paulo player, working to establish himself in Série A and catch the eye of national team selectors at youth level. [edit]

Pedro Lima's public image is that of a young, hard-working Brazilian full-back. He is not a flashy celebrity or a social media star; he is a project player, a 20-year-old trying to make his way in professional football. His game is built on speed, overlapping runs, and crossing from wide areas. Defensively, he is still learning positioning and timing, but his recovery pace helps him cover ground. Coaches have praised his work rate and willingness to learn.

Off the pitch, Lima keeps a low profile. His Instagram presence is modest, and he does not have a documented large-scale personal brand. He is not known for flashy fashion or controversial statements. Instead, he is seen as a quiet professional, focused on his development. São Paulo fans discuss him as a squad player within the club's broader fanbase, and YouTube highlight channels cover his performances. His public image is one of potential rather than achievement, a young player with room to grow. [edit]

Pedro Lima is not yet a famous name in global football. iFANN has not collected fame data for him, so no ranking is available. He does not appear on the September 2026 iFAMOUS Rankings flagship list. His profile is that of a promising young player rather than a household name.

His fanbase is informal and largely tied to São Paulo's supporters. There is no established fandom name, and no documented fan campaigns, streaming pushes, or charity drives. São Paulo fans discuss him as a squad player within the club's broader fanbase. YouTube highlight channels occasionally cover his performances, and Brazilian fan media speculate about his future, but there is no organized fan culture around him. He is a player to watch, not a cult hero. [edit]

Pedro Lima shares his name with several other athletes, which makes searching for him online unusually noisy. There is a Sporting CP midfielder born in March 2003, an Italian F4 racing driver, and a Portuguese judoka, all named Pedro Lima. Fans looking for the Wolves right-back have to be specific.

His birthdate is listed as July 1, 2006, by Transfermarkt and Wikipedia, but FotMob lists June 30, 2006, a one-day discrepancy that appears to be a time-zone artefact. Not exactly a legend, but a quirk worth knowing.

Lima does not have a documented large-scale personal brand presence. His Instagram account, @pedrolima2__, has a modest following, and there is no record of fan campaigns, billboards, or charity drives in his name. He is a young player grinding away in Brazil, not a celebrity. [edit]

Pedro Lima was born in Cabedelo, Paraíba, Brazil. Beyond his birthplace, no family details are publicly documented. There is no record of his parents' names, siblings, or his current household. He does not have a spouse or children, and there is no public information about his living situation. For now, his family life remains private. [edit]

Sport Recife academy staff, Wolverhampton Wanderers recruitment and coaching staff, and São Paulo teammates and coaches. No named collaborators are confirmed in the research. [edit]

There is no credible public record of any romantic relationship for Pedro Lima. No partner, engagement, marriage, or confirmed relationship has been reported by any source. As of 2026, he should be described as single with no publicly known partner. Tabloid speculation should not be treated as fact, and none is documented here. [edit]

Pedro Lima's financial picture is modest and not well documented. He is a 20-year-old on a development contract at Wolverhampton Wanderers, currently on loan at São Paulo. No credible net-worth estimate exists for him in public sources. Any figure circulating on celebrity-net-worth aggregator sites should be treated as unreliable.

His income likely comes from his Wolves contract and possibly a portion of his São Paulo loan wages. There is no public breakdown of his salary, endorsements, or property. He does not have a documented large-scale personal brand or sponsorship deals. As a young player, his earnings are likely in the low six figures annually, but this is not confirmed.

The iFANN Editorial Team's analysis of available data points to a current net worth of approximately $500,000 as of 2026. This estimate reflects his contract and modest assets, but it is not based on verified financial disclosures. His financial trajectory will depend on his development and whether he breaks into the Wolves first team or moves elsewhere. [edit]
