Leonardo Rocha Transfer from Raków Częstochowa to Zagłębie Lubin
Negotiations are taking place for Zagłębie Lubin to purchase Leonardo Rocha from Raków Częstochowa for approximately one million euro. According to Filip Trokielewicz, Zagłębie Lubin is evaluating if it can afford the transfer fee and Rocha's salary. The player would require the highest salary on the team, which would create a wage structure issue. A decision has not yet been made, and a meeting is expected to take place soon at KGHM to discuss the situation.
According to Piotr Koźmiński, Leonardo Rocha wants to continue playing at Zaglebie Lubin. While there is no agreement yet on the terms of his individual contract, this will not be an obstacle for the transfer. The only thing missing is the approval of the Zaglebie Lubin Supervisory Board. If approved, the club will spend nearly one million euros, which would be a transfer record for Zaglebie Lubin.
The club president Paweł Jeż confirmed efforts for a permanent transfer of Leonardo Rocha. Coach Leszek Ojrzyński stated that talks are ongoing regarding Leonardo Rocha, and said there is still hope that Leonardo Rocha may stay at Zagłębie Lubin if the club exercises the purchase option. The coach also mentioned that a clause exists, but that he does not know its details and does not believe it can be reduced. According to reports by Piotr Janas from 'Gazeta Wrocławska', the fee for Leonardo Rocha could be less than one million euro.
Raków Częstochowa has used an option to shorten Leonardo Rocha's loan to Zagłębie Lubin, which requires Zagłębie to buy the player to retain him. In an interview with Przegląd Sportowy Onet, Zagłębie Lubin's president, Paweł Jeż, stated that there is a possibility for Leonardo Rocha to remain in Silesia. Paweł Żuk said that much depends on whether an agreement can be reached with the player and mentioned that negotiations with Rocha's agent have been in progress for some time. According to Paweł Żuk, everything will be clarified by January 5, when the player returns to Poland. Leonardo Rocha's recent social media activity indicates a preference to stay in Lubin.

Earlier media suggestions linked Leonardo Rocha with a potential move to Zagłębie Lubin, but the latest reports indicate a different direction for his transfer.
Leonardo Rocha will not be included in Raków Częstochowa's squad for the Conference League, indicating that his standing with coach Marek Papszun is not high. Zagłębie Lubin is suggested to take advantage of this situation, according to Szymon Janczyk from Weszlo.com. There is a significant chance that Rocha will leave Limanowskiego this summer, with Zagłębie Lubin maintaining interest in such a move. Janczyk mentioned that the idea is likely to resurface and be highly feasible for realization.
Leonardo Rocha's performance at Raków Częstochowa has not been satisfactory, with only one goal in the spring season. There are rumors that his time at the club might end prematurely. Zagłębie Lubin is intensely pursuing his transfer, and Raków may use this interest to facilitate the transfer of Tomasz Pieńko. However, club representatives denied any intention to push Rocha out of the club, emphasizing that he is valued and respected.
According to Szymon Janczyk, Leonardo Rocha is highly sought after by Zagłębie Lubin and is at the top of their priority list. The club, known as 'Miedziowi', is very determined to secure this transfer. Leszek Ojrzyński proposed the idea to club officials, who received it positively. Rocha has faced challenges in meeting the expectations of Raków Częstochowa's coach, playing less than 190 minutes in the spring and losing his place to Jonatan Braut Brunes. Although he had a strong start with 11 goals in 17 matches for Radomiak Radom in the previous autumn, Rocha has struggled under Marek Papszun at Raków Częstochowa, who acquired him for 700,000 euros. Despite his contract with Raków running until June 2028, the club is open to his departure, particularly as they look for a new striker amid potential lineup changes.
