Pedro Guilherme Abreu dos Santos, better known as Pedro, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a centre forward for Fluminense.

Club career

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Pedro began his career at the age of eight in the youth ranks of Flamengo, who released him at the age of 14.[1] He had two years at Duquecaxiense before moving to Flamengo's rivals Fluminense.[1]

He made his professional debut on 10 March 2016 in a 2–0 win over Criciúma in the Primeira Liga, starting the match in what was his only appearance as Fluminense won the tournament.[2] On 26 June that year he played his first game in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, replacing Richarlison for the final seven minutes of a 2–1 win over rivals Flamengo,[3] and made two more substitute appearances over the season.

On 24 January 2017, substitute Pedro scored his first professional goal in a 3–2 win over Criciúma in the Primeira Liga opener,[4] and he added two more in ten games as they came runners-up to Flamengo in the Campeonato Carioca. On 21 September, he scored the crucial away goal in a 2–1 loss away to LDU Quito in the second leg of the round of 16 in the Copa Sudamericana, sending Flu through.[5]

Pedro became a regular in the 2018 Campeonato Carioca season, top scoring with seven goals in 13 games,[1] earning him a place in the Team of the Tournament.[6] On 25 March, he opened a 3–0 win over Botafogo at the Maracanã Stadium to win the Taça Rio.[7]

In the summer of 2018, Pedro attracted offers from other clubs, with Fluminense rejecting an €8.5 million offer from Bordeaux and a €15 million bid by Mexico's Monterrey.[8]

International career

He was called up by coach Tite for the Brazil national team in August 2018, for friendlies against the United States and El Salvador, but withdrew to be replaced by his former clubmate Richarlison.[9]
