FC Köln], Deutsche Welle, September 20, 2011, accessed September 5, 2018</ref>

==Club career==
===Early years===
Born in [[São Paulo]], Geromel moved to Portugal from [[Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras]] along with [[Elias Mendes Trindade|Elias]].<ref>{{cite web | url = http://espn.uol.com.br/noticia/626417_novidade-de-tite-geromel-viu-grito-de-segunda-divisao-sepultar-futuro-no-palmeiras | title = Novidade de Tite, Geromel viu grito de 'segunda divisão' sepultar futuro no Palmeiras | trans-title = Tite novelty, Geromel saw 'second division' cry bury future at Palmeiras | publisher = [[ESPN Brasil]] | language = pt | date = 29 August 2016 | access-date = 29 August 2016}}</ref> He signed with [[G.D. Chaves]] at only 18 and finished his footballing formation there, after which he made his professional debut in the [[2004–05 Liga de Honra|2004–05 season]], with the northern team in the [[Segunda Liga|second division]].

===Vitória Guimarães===
Geromel's performances there attracted the attention of [[Primeira Liga]] club [[Vitória S.C.|Vitória SC]].<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/01ab-0ea7ca8b450a-a7a5437bbe1a-1000--geromel-gets-guimaraes-chance/ | title = Geromel gets Guimarães chance | publisher = UEFA | date = 8 July 2005 | access-date = 15 May 2011}}</ref> At [[Guimarães]], after making his debut in a 2–0 [[Local derby|derby]] home loss against [[S.C. Braga]],<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.record.pt/futebol/futebol-nacional/liga-nos/v--guimaraes/detalhe/sp-braga-ganha-em-guimaraes-e-comanda-isolado.html | title = Sp.

Braga win in Guimarães and are the undisputed leaders | newspaper = [[Record (Portuguese newspaper)|Record]] | language = pt | date = 9 September 2005 | access-date = 16 December 2017}}</ref> he eventually became an undisputed first-choice, as the [[Minho Province|Minho]] side [[2006–07 Liga de Honra|promoted from the second level]] and achieved [[2008–09 UEFA Champions League|qualification]] to the [[UEFA Champions League]] in just two seasons.

===1. FC Köln===
In an online voting, Geromel was considered as [[2007–08 Primeira Liga|2007–08]]'s best player in the Portuguese League, beating [[FC Porto]]'s [[Lisandro López (footballer, born 1983)|Lisandro López]] and [[Lucho González]]. On 30 June 2008, he moved to [[Bundesliga]] club [[1. FC Köln]], [[2007–08 2. Bundesliga|recently promoted]] to the top division.

An undisputed first-choice from the beginning, Geromel impressed enough during his first two years in Germany, reportedly being courted by [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]] from [[La Liga]].<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12875_6291869,00.html | title = Cologne capture Brazilian | publisher = [[Sky Sports]] | date = 2 August 2010 | access-date = 15 May 2011}}</ref> Eventually, nothing came of it.

On 23 August 2012, Geromel signed a four-year loan deal with [[RCD Mallorca]] in Spain.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.marca.com/2012/08/23/futbol/equipos/mallorca/1345715485.html | title = Pedro Geromel es el sexto fichaje en llegar a la isla | trans-title = Pedro Geromel is the sixth signing to arrive at the island | newspaper = [[Marca (newspaper)|Marca]] | language = es | date = 23 August 2012 | access-date = 24 August 2013}}</ref> In [[2012–13 La Liga|his first season]] he contributed with 29 starts and one goal (2,612 minutes of action), but the [[Balearic Islands]] team were relegated from the top flight; in December 2013 he rescinded his agreement and returned to his country, to sign for two years and a half with [[Grêmio FBPA|Grêmio]] while still owned by Köln.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.gremio.net/news/view.aspx?id=16937&language=0 | title = Zagueiro Pedro Geromel é apresentado no Olímpico | trans-title = Stopper Pedro Geromel is presented at the ''Olímpico'' | publisher = Grêmio PA | language = pt | date = 30 December 2013 | access-date = 14 July 2014 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20131227044810/http://www.gremio.net/news/view.aspx?id=16937&language=0 | archive-date = 27 December 2013 | url-status = dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = http://esporte.uol.com.br/futebol/ultimas-noticias/2014/12/10/gremio-ve-situacao-delicada-e-trata-sequencia-de-geromel-como-contratacao.htm | title = Grêmio vê situação 'delicada' e trata sequência de Geromel como contratação | trans-title = Grêmio see 'delicate' situation and treat Geromel's sequence as permanent signing | publisher = [[Universo Online]] | language = pt | date = 10 December 2014 | access-date = 14 December 2014}}</ref>
