São Paulo FC has presented an official proposal to sign Portuguese defender Domingos Duarte, who is out of contract with Getafe. The Morumbi team is looking to strengthen its defensive sector with an experienced player. Domingos Duarte, 31, has played his entire career between Portugal and Spain, representing clubs such as Estoril, Sporting, Chaves and Belenenses. At Getafe, the central defender played 113 games in four seasons, including 35 appearances in the last season. The possibility of joining compatriot Cédric Soares, with whom he shared a beachside residence at Sporting between 2014 and 2015, is a factor that pleases the international Portuguese. To secure the signing, São Paulo will have to overcome strong competition from other clubs, mainly from European football. The central defender sees with good eyes an eventual change to Brazil.
