João Rodrigues, president of Farense, admitted that it would be very difficult to retain Ricardo Velho as there are several interested parties.

Ricardo Velho, voted the best goalkeeper of the 2023/24 Liga Portugal season, might leave Farense in the summer transfer market.

Ricardo Velho, with a contract until June 2026 and with a clause valued at 10 million euros, has interested parties in England, Spain, Germany, and Italy.

In addition to the German emblem, in the duel with the incarnates, elements of the scouting of Crystal Palace, Barcelona and Freiburg also marked their presence.
