Palmeiras winger Dudu has taken to Instagram to make a humorous request to his club’s president. In a post about a businessman who took his employees on holiday to Malaysia, Dudu tagged Leyla Pereira in the comments, asking if she would be willing to do the same for the Palmeiras squad. Although Pereira has yet to respond, the club has recently purchased an Embraer E-190 aircraft for an estimated $64m, which will be used to transport players to domestic and international matches. The purchase is expected to provide “more comfort and agility” for the team.

“Are you brave enough to tag your boss here?”
The 31-year-old Brazilian winger Palmeiras Dudu did not hesitate to mention his club president, Leyla Pereira, in the comments.
