Saudi Arabian club Al-Shabab made a significant offer this winter for Bruno Duarte, a 30-year-old Brazilian-Italian striker at Crvena zvezda who joined in July 2024. It was reported that the contract offered had a total value of four million euros. The management of Crvena zvezda considered the proposal but ultimately decided to delay his potential departure until at least the summer. At that point, Duarte will be entering the final year of his contract, which is a significant factor for the club to receive a transfer fee for him. The player has previously been a target for other clubs; Legia Warszawa strongly considered signing him before his move to the Serbian champions and contacted the player, who initially expressed a desire to join, but the discussions did not lead to a final agreement. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €4.50m.
