Samuel Lopes Robalo Pedro (born 24 April 2001) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a winger or forward for UAE First Division League club United.
Born in Aveiro, Pedro began playing football at hometown club Beira-Mar, and played for several other youth teams including Braga and Boavista. He made his professional debut in his only appearance for the latter on 6 December 2019, a 4–1 Primeira Liga home loss to Benfica in which he came on as a 69th-minute substitute for Gustavo Sauer.[3]
On 20 January 2020, 18-year-old Pedro signed a contract of undisclosed length at Benfica, while Boavista retained 50% of his economic rights.[3] He played for the B-team in the second tier, scoring his first senior goal on 25 November to decide a 3–2 win at nearby Cova da Piedade.[4]
Pedro was loaned to Covilhã in the same league on 5 January 2022.[5] He played 13 games over the remainder of the season, being recalled two games early as the team stayed up via the play-offs;[6] he scored once as a late substitute on 13 March to conclude a 2–0 home win over Trofense.[7]
On 8 July 2022, Pedro signed a three-year contract with Slovenian PrvaLiga side Olimpija Ljubljana.[8] He made his debut nine days later as the season began with a 2–0 home win over Mura, in which he came on after 58 minutes for Aldair and scored in added time.[9]
On 14 February 2023, Pedro signed a one-year contract with Norwegian First Division club FK Jerv.[10] He finished the 2023 season as the league's second top goalscorer, with 14 goals in 24 matches; FK Jerv, however, finished in penultimate place, getting relegated to the Second Division.[11]
Born in Portugal, Pedro is of Angolan descent.[12] He was capped once by Portugal at under-19 level. On 25 February 2020, he played the first half of a 3–1 friendly win over France in Marinha Grande.[13]
