Sao Paulo, Brazil (My Sportsbook) - FC Dallas' 2007 designated player signing of Denilson - seen by many as a complete bust - officially came to an end with the Brazilian signing with Palmeiras in his homeland this weekend.

Last year, the 30-year-old midfielder played for the Hoops in the Major League Soccer, but his contract was not renewed after he scored only one goal and had no assists in eight games.

He was seen as a major disappointment in North America's top-flight league after he was one of the top players in the world and his rights were once sold for about $36 million, the largest transfer fee in history at the time.

The four-time Brazilian champions signed the World Cup veteran through the end of the year with a contract that stipulates he will earn a salary based on how much he plays. Details and financial figures were not released.
