Part 4/6:
Amid these discussions, the possibility of including Palmeiras' Dudu in the transfer has surfaced. While this idea garnered some media attention, significant progress on this front appears unlikely. Dudu's contract with Palmeiras lasts until the end of next season, with an additional clause that allows for an extension if he meets certain participation criteria.
Consequently, Dudu, who is approaching the later stages of his career at 32 years old, would not guarantee regular playtime or justify the financial expenditure necessary to secure his transfer to Flamengo.
