Doha, Qatar: Qatar heavyweights Al Duhail yesterday announced the signing of Brazilian defender Lucas Silva Melo, nicknamed Tuta, as they apply the final touches to their preparations for the upcoming season.
The Qatar Stars League (QSL) giants did not disclose the duration of Tuta’s contract, who becomes the latest addition to the Red Knights’ evolving squad.
Tuta, 26, brings significant experience, having begun his professional career with Brazilian club Sao Paulo in 2018 before moving to German Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt.
He was later loaned to Belgian club Kortrijk before his move to Al Duhail was confirmed.
Since Algerian tactician Djamel Belmadi returned to Al Duhail for his third stint, the club has made a string of high-profile signings, including Cameroonian international Jean-Charles Castelletto, Italian midfielder Marco Verratti from Al Arabi, promising young Algerian Adil Boulbina and Polish striker Krzysztof Piatek.
