Duda spent last season on loan at Malaga from Sevilla, having played a pivotal role in the squad's impressive league finish.

The Portugal international reached an agreement in principle with Malaga last week, but the closing of the deal was put on hold after he claimed he had been offered a lucrative €1,6m-a-year contract from a club overseas.

However, such offer did not materialise and Duda has now reportedly penned a four-year contract with Malaga, with an option for a fifth dependant upon the midfielder's number of appearances for the club.

It is believed Duda's arrival on a permanent basis at Malaga will pave the way for the departure of Jesus Gamez towards Sevilla.
