Club career

Son of Cape Verdean goalkeeper Cadabra, Duarte is a youth product of Swift Hesperange in Luxembourg, before moving to the Borussia Dortmund academy in January 2025, whilst already reporting offers from other big European clubs.^[1][2][3] There he soon proved his talent and versatility in the midfield,^[4] establishing himself as Dortmund under-17's playmaker.^[2]

International career

Born in Luxembourg, Duarte also has Cape Verdean origins per his father.^[1][3][5] He is a youth international for Luxembourg, having played for the under-16 and under-17.^[6]

In March 2025, he was first called to the Luxembourg senior team for two friendlies against Sweden and Switzerland.^[1][2][4][6] He was by then potentially only 72 hours short of beating Vincent Thill's precocity record, which would have made him Luxembourg's second youngest ever international.^[2] But he did not play neither in the 1-0 beating of Sweden^[7] nor in the 3-1 loss to Switzerland.^[8][9][10]

He was selected again by Luc Holtz the following June, for two other friendlies, making his debut against the Republic of Ireland on 10 June 2025.^[11][12]
