Part 2/8:
As confirmed by social media and reliable sources, Dudu has opted out of a series of farewell celebrations initially scheduled to honor him at various events, notably at the "Mancha Verde" supporters’ gathering and the week-long ceremony at the Academia de Futebol. These events were intended to celebrate his pivotal role in Palmeiras' successes over the years. However, Dudu has chosen to distance himself as he transitions to a new phase in his career.
Sources close to him indicate that following a tumultuous exit from Palmeiras, Dudu is eager to focus on moving forward rather than dwelling on the past. His departure from the club was marked by emotional strain, following a challenging phase where his role diminished and internal pressures from the fanbase arose.
