Dudu's failed transfer to Cruzeiro opened the door for his potential exit from Palmeiras.

Dudu was announced by Cruzeiro but will continue at Palmeiras.

Dudu was announced by Cruzeiro but later regretted the decision. He received a very good proposal offering him a four-year contract. However, he decided to remain at Palmeiras after much thought and discussion with his family. Cruzeiro officially withdrew their proposal after the public announcement of an agreement between Cruzeiro, Palmeiras, and Dudu.

Dudu had been announced by Cruzeiro, but after a meeting on Sunday, he stated that he wants to continue at Palmeiras under the management of Abel Ferreira. The player participated in a training session and had a conversation with his coach. Despite the agreement between the clubs, Dudu expressed his desire to stay at Palmeiras. Cruzeiro had agreed with Palmeiras and Dudu for the definitive transfer of the player, pending medical exams and formalization of the contract.
