The transfer became permanent that December. At the press conference reported by ge after the purchase, Pedro said he had wanted to stay from the start. This is a historical contract milestone, not a statement of his current terms.
In the 2022 Copa Libertadores, Pedro scored 12 goals, finished as the competition’s top scorer and was named its best player, according to CONMEBOL’s retrospective.
He scored four in the 7–1 round-of-16 second-leg win over Deportes Tolima and three in the 4–0 away win against Vélez Sarsfield in the first leg of the semifinal. These were 2022 matches, not current-season figures.
The loan, permanent move and continental scoring provide context for his career; recent statistics need their own time frame.
