Valued at approximately €1.5m (£1.3m), one can view his current market value on Transfermarkt. His contract with the Scottish Premiership club Aberdeen is set to expire on 31 May 2025, which leaves half a year remaining.
In his early career, Duk took his first steps into professional football as a trainee, joining Benfica B in the Liga Portugal 2 in Portugal in July 2017. Five years later, in July 2022, he made a significant move. Duk transferred from Benfica B to Aberdeen for a deal rounded off at £400k, which marked the start of his journey in Scotland.
In his debut season (2022 - 2023) with Aberdeen, Duk made a substantial impact, with 16 goals in his 37 first team appearances in league matches. The following season (2023 - 2024) saw him continue to make consistent appearances, with 34 games for the first team and four goals to his name. In the current season (2024 - 2025), Duk has taken to the field in ten first team league matches so far.
