Riccieli, who nearly moved to Russia in January, is expected to find a new destination during the summer transfer window.

Riccieli, the captain of Famalicão, is looking for a new club after five seasons. He was previously close to a move to Russia in January. There was a period of disagreement between the player and the club, leading to him being sidelined. He returned to his position in the defense in March. Six months later, Riccieli expressed a desire to leave as soon as possible, a decision that Famalicão will not oppose. He has stated that he does not wish to return to Brazil, where he played for Mirassol from 2015 to 2019. His contract runs until 2027 and his transfer fee is around three million euros.

Riccieli, who was also close to leaving in January, is one of the other players that could be sold, but for smaller values compared to the other athletes.

Riccieli has a contract until June 2027 with Famalicão, but has been the target of European clubs, and could transfer at the end of the season, as happened in January with his then defensive axis partner, Otávio, who signed for FC Porto.
