On June 18, early this morning, Clube de Regatas do Flamengo (Recife) released an official statement, announcing an agreement with English Premier League team Wolverhampton Wanderers for the signing of defender Pedro Lima, born in 2006.
Until last week, Pedro Lima and Recife had verbally agreed to terms with Chelsea, as renowned transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano took to social media with his signature “Here We Go!” indicating that the 17-year-old right-back was set to join Chelsea for a transfer fee of €10.5 million.
However, events took a sudden turn this week. In the early hours of today, Recife officially announced that they have struck a deal with Wolves. The player will sign for the club on July 1, and Wolves will provide a detailed account of the transfer once all relevant procedures are completed.
