In the summer, Ricardo Velho was associated with interest from Benfica. João Rodrigues, the president of Farense, confirmed that they received proposals for the goalkeeper but did not disclose the interested parties. He mentioned that the proposals were concrete but not satisfactory for either Farense or the player, Ricardo Velho.

Ricardo Velho's name is now associated with Benfica. Farense's administration, led by João Rodrigues, is considering offers for the player.

Ricardo Velho, a goalkeeper from Farense, was under consideration by Benfica but the process will not move forward. Benfica is looking for a goalkeeper but does not want to make a large investment.
