Crvena zvezda has decided to keep 29-year-old Brazilian-Italian striker Bruno Duarte in their squad, despite recent increased interest in the player, who has been linked with Panathinaikos and other clubs. The website Mozzart Sport noted that Shabab Al Ahli made a proposal of nearly 4 million euros and that interest had also come from a club in Brazil. After initial considerations, Crvena zvezda reportedly chose to retain the striker, who is having a particularly productive season. In 15 appearances in the 2025/2026 Super liga Srbije season, Duarte has scored 6 goals and provided 5 assists. He joined the club in July 2024 and has a contract until June 2027. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €4.50m.
