São Paulo pull out of deal for former Flamengo target over odd reason | OneFootball

Domingos Duarte is without a contract after leaving Getafe (Spain)

São Paulo came very close to completing the signing of Portuguese center back Domingos Duarte from Getafe (Spain), but the negotiations should end without a positive outcome. The player did not respond in time, and the São Paulo-based team intends to end the talks.

According to journalist André Hernan, Domingos Duarte, a former Flamengo target, said he still has doubts about a possible transfer to Brazil. Therefore, São Paulo should give up on continuing the negotiations to sign the player.

Domingos Duarte is currently without a contract after his deal with Getafe came to an end. The former Flamengo target is 31 years old and is also on the radar of Botafogo and other clubs for the rest of the season.

WAS HE ALREADY A FLAMENGO TARGET?

Center back Domingos Duarte was a Flamengo target at the start of 2024. At the time, the Portuguese player was still playing for Getafe. In fact, the Rubro-Negro club made an offer of 3 million euros (R$16 million at the exchange rate at the time) for the defender.

Without Domingos Duarte, Flamengo went in another direction. As a result, the Rubro-Negro club ended up signing Léo Ortiz for 7 million euros (R$36.7 million at the exchange rate at the time) from Red Bull Bragantino.
