Club president arrives London as Chelsea ready to complete the signing of talented player

Chelsea are actively pursuing 17-year-old Pedro Lima from Sport Recife, with their president, Yuri Romao, recently traveling to London to advance discussions.

Sport Recife have received multiple official offers for the young talent, though specific details about the proposals have not been disclosed.

Chelsea’s interest is part of their broader strategy to invest in young talents and develop them through their system.

Pedro Lima has a release clause set at €12 million, attracting attention from other major European clubs such as Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, and Juventus. Reports suggest Chelsea may sign Lima and loan him to their affiliate club Strasbourg for further development​.

This move highlights Chelsea’s continued focus on nurturing young prospects, following a pattern of acquiring and loaning young Brazilian players to integrate them gradually into European football​.
