São Paulo beat Botafogo, close in on former Flamengo target | OneFootball

Domingos Duarte is 31 years old and currently plays for Getafe (ESP)

São Paulo is in the market for a new center back for the remainder of the season, already looking ahead to the next transfer window. With that in mind, the club from São Paulo has made an offer to sign Portuguese defender Domingos Duarte, who was previously a target for Flamengo.

According to ESPN Brasil, São Paulo has already begun negotiations to sign the 31-year-old Portuguese center back on a free transfer. That is because Domingos Duarte’s contract with Getafe (ESP) only runs until the end of this month.

At the moment, São Paulo is in a favorable position to sign Domingos Duarte. In addition to the club from São Paulo, Botafogo and other clubs are also keeping an eye on the 31-year-old defender, especially teams from European football.

WAS HE ALSO A TARGET FOR FLAMENGO?

Domingos Duarte was a target for Flamengo at the start of last season. At the time, the Portuguese center back was still playing for Getafe. In fact, the Rubro-Negro side submitted an offer of 3 million euros (around R$16 million at the exchange rate at the time) for the defender.

WHO DID FLAMENGO SIGN?

However, Flamengo was unable to sign Domingos Duarte during the preseason and began looking for other options on the market. As a result, the Rubro-Negro club ended up completing the signing of Léo Ortiz, who was playing for Red Bull Bragantino.
