Esporte Clube Vitória announces the signing of experienced striker Pedro Henrique, 29, for the 2026 season. The forward, who was playing in Chinese football, arrives as an immediate replacement for Renzo López, out of action after suffering a lumbar fracture. Pedro Henrique signed a one-year contract, valid until the end of 2026. He will play alongside Marinho, the team's technical reference, and will compete for a spot with Alerrandro. The player was already in Salvador and had his integration into the squad accelerated by the club's management. Pedro Henrique returns to Brazil with consistent numbers, having scored 15 goals and provided five assists in the 2025 season. In 2024, for Wuhan Three Towns, also in China, he scored 12 goals in 21 games. The period abroad helped shape a physically present striker, with good positioning in the area and efficiency in aerial play. At Vitória, Pedro Henrique arrives to fulfill a specific role in Thiago Carpini's scheme. Unlike Marinho, the new reinforcement is a target man, responsible for fighting with defenders, making the pivot and finishing plays. The tendency is for them to play together, with Marinho exploring speed, dribbling and crossing, while Pedro Henrique is the main finisher. In the squad hierarchy, Marinho remains the absolute starter and leader of the group. Pedro Henrique will compete for a spot mainly with Alerrandro and, in the future, with Renzo López when the Uruguayan returns from injury. In his presentation, the striker highlighted his motivation to return to playing in Brazil and his desire to connect with the fans. The internal expectation is that, maintaining the performance presented in Asian football, Pedro Henrique will help Vitória preserve its offensive strength and increase the team's decision-making power in the 2026 Série A.
