Career edit
Audax edit
Born in São Paulo, Pedrinho joined Audax after impressing in an evaluation at the club's affiliated side Grêmio Osasco.[1] He made his senior debut on 23 July 2017, aged only 17, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–1 Copa Paulista home draw against Rio Branco-SP.[2]
Oeste edit
Pedrinho joined Oeste in August 2017, on loan until December 2018.[1][3] He made his professional debut for the club on 7 October, replacing Betinho in a 3–0 home defeat of Guarani for the Série B championship.[4]
Pedrinho became a regular starter during the 2018 season, and scored his first senior goal on 17 March in a 1–0 Campeonato Paulista Série A2 away win against Batatais.[5] After helping his side achieve promotion to Campeonato Paulista, he was also a regular starter in the Série B, scoring five goals as his side narrowly avoided relegation.
Pedrinho returned to Audax for the 2019 campaign, but was bought outright by Oeste in February, signing a contract until 2024.[6]
Athletico Paranaense edit
On 7 May 2019, Pedrinho was loaned out to Athletico Paranaense, initially playing for the U23 team.[7] He made his Série A debut on 11 August, replacing Léo Cittadini in a 2–1 away loss to Botafogo.
On 10 August 2020, after being the club's top goalscorer in the 2020 Campeonato Paranaense with six goals, Pedrinho was bought by Furacão and signed a three-year contract.[8] On 7 November, however, he returned to Oeste on loan for the remainder of the 2020 Série B.[9]
On 5 March 2021, however, the move to Athletico was undone, with the R$ 5 million transfer fee being returned.[10]
Red Bull Bragantino edit
On 15 March 2021, Pedrinho signed a contract with Red Bull Bragantino until 2025.[11] He was mainly a backup option at his new club, behind starters Helinho and Tomás Cuello.
América Mineiro (loan) edit

On 8 September 2022, Pedrinho signed a four-year, €5 million, contract with Lokomotiv Moscow in Russia.[13][14] He was not allowed to have his common name printed on his Lokomotiv Moscow shirt, because it sounds similar to a Russian homophobic pejorative.[15]
On 28 September 2022, Pedrinho scored his first goals for Lokomotiv, netting 4 goals in a 5–0 Russian Cup victory over FC Khimki.[16]
São Paulo (loan) edit
On 7 December 2022, Lokomotiv announced that Pedrinho agred to a one-year loan to São Paulo, effective as of 1 January.[17] On 28 April 2023, Pedrinho's loan contract with São Paulo was terminated,[18] after prints from conversations where Pedrinho threatened his ex-partner were disclosed.[19]
Return to América Mineiro (loan) edit
On 4 July 2023, Pedrinho returned on loan to América Mineiro until the end of the 2023 season.[20] He only played 12 matches for the club in his second spell, however, as they suffered relegation.
Santos (loan) edit
On 11 January 2024, Pedrinho was announced at Santos on a loan deal until the end of the year.[21] He made his debut for the club nine days later, starting in a 1–0 away win over Botafogo-SP.[22]
Pedrinho scored his first goal for Peixe on 19 April 2024, netting his team's opener in a 2–0 home win over Paysandu.
Outside football edit
Domestic abuse claims edit
On 1 March 2023, while playing for São Paulo, Pedrinho was accused of domestic abuse and assault by a former partner,[23] and asked to be separated from the first team squad in the following day.[24] On 19 April, Brazilian media outlets ge and UOL disclosed print screens from conversations where Pedrinho made death threats and cursed his former partner Amanda Nunes.[25]
In June 2023, Pedrinho took a legal action against São Paulo, asking for his dismissal to be reverted;[26] in that month Nunes and Pedrinho also appeared together on social media.[27] In December, justice ruled in favor of São Paulo, alleging that he "lied to the club" by saying he did not assaulted or abused his partner, when print screens proved otherwise.[28]
On 21 February 2024, Pedrinho's investigation was archived, after documents proving that Pedrinho himself was also injured in the process were presented.[29]
