São Paulo’s Copinha Winner Joins Estonian Club | Transfer News

São Paulo agreed to release defender Pedro Andrade, 20, to sign a contract with Paida Linnameeskond, from Estonia. 2025 Cup Champion, the defender was one of the characters in the victorious campaign by scoring one of the goals in the final against Corinthians, in the 3-2 victory in the big decision.

With a contract valid only until September 2026 and outside the professional team’s plans, Pedro Andrade received the green light from the board to pursue a career in European football. In the agreement, São Paulo maintained 30% of the athlete’s economic rights, considering a possible appreciation and future sale.

The release is also linked to the planning of the youth categories. The defender, who lost space in the U20 starting defense, was not registered for the 2026 Cup, the last one he could compete in due to his age. For the defensive sector, São Paulo, which makes its debut this Sunday, has Isac, Osório, Igão and Hugo Martins.
