São Paulo has tabled an official offer to sign Domingos Duarte, whose contract with Spanish club Getafe is set to expire. According to ESPN, the Brazilian club has already initiated negotiations to secure the 31-year-old defender on a free transfer.
The Morumbi-based team is looking to bolster its defensive line with an experienced player and views the Portuguese international as a prime market opportunity. However, to finalize the signing, São Paulo will need to fend off strong competition from other clubs, particularly those in European football.
The central defender is reportedly keen on a potential move to Brazil. The prospect of reuniting with compatriot Cédric Soares, with whom he shared a locker room at Sporting between 2014 and 2015, is a significant draw for the Portuguese international.
Domingos Duarte has spent his entire career between Portugal (Estoril, Sporting, Chaves, and Belenenses) and Spain, where he represented Deportivo, Granada, and Getafe. For 'Los Azulones,' the center-back accumulated 113 appearances over four seasons, featuring in 35 matches (scoring one goal and providing one assist) last season.
