Pedro Manuel Lobo Peixoto Mineiro Mendes (born 1 August 1999) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a striker for Italian Serie B club Modena.

Club career

[edit]

Sporting CP

[edit]

Born in Guimarães, Mendes started his youth career with local clubs Vitória S.C. and Moreirense F.C. before joining Sporting CP's academy at the age of 18.[2] On 19 September 2019, after having scored seven goals in six games for the under-23 side to start the new season and before he had made his debut with the first team in the Primeira Liga due to registration problems,[3] he appeared with the latter in a group stage match in the UEFA Europa League against PSV Eindhoven, and found the net immediately after having come as an 81st-minute substitute for fellow youth graduate Miguel Luís, albeit in a 3–2 away defeat;[4] in the process, he became Sporting's first player to achieve the feat on his debut in European competition.[2]

Mendes finally made his debut in the Portuguese top division on 11 January 2020, playing 14 minutes in the 3–1 away victory over Vitória de Setúbal.[5] On 16 September, he joined Spanish Segunda División side UD Almería on a season-long loan.[6] The following 1 February, however, he signed with C.D. Nacional also on loan.[7] In his second appearance for the latter, as a second-half substitute against S.C. Farense, he scored twice (but one in his own net) in a 2–3 home loss.[8]

On 16 July 2021, Mendes moved to Liga Portugal 2 club Rio Ave F.C. on a season-long loan deal, with an option to buy.[9] He scored a squad-best ten goals,[10] as the champions returned to the top flight after one year out.[11]

Ascoli

[edit]

On 29 August 2022, Mendes signed a three-year contract with Ascoli Calcio 1898 FC in the Italian Serie B.[12] He netted a team-best 11 times in his second season, in a final relegation; he also missed the final two months due to a tendon injury.[13][14]

Modena

[edit]

Mendes remained in the Italian second tier for the 2024–25 campaign, joining Modena FC 2018.[15]

International career

[edit]

Mendes won his first cap for Portugal at under-21 level on 11 October 2019, in a 4–2 away loss against the Netherlands in the 2021 UEFA European Championship qualifiers where he replaced AC Milan's Rafael Leão.[16]
