Pedro Veronez Vilhena (born 18 February 2002), sometimes known as Pedrinho, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Sport Recife, on loan from São Paulo.

Career

Born in São Paulo, Vilhena joined São Paulo FC's youth setup at the age of nine.[1] On 12 August 2021, he renewed his contract with the club until 2024,[2] and finished the year impressing with the under-20s.

Vilhena started the 2022 season with the expectation to break into the first team, but spent the majority of the year nursing a knee injury. Back to action in September, he returned to the under-20 squad.[3]

Vilhena made his professional – and Série A – debut with Tricolor on 20 September 2023, coming on as a second-half substitute for Michel Araújo in a 2–1 home loss to Fortaleza.[4] On 2 January of the following year, he was loaned to Série B side Sport Recife.[5]
