Media have been speculating for over a week about the potential move of Luquinhas from Fortaleza to Lech Poznań. The president of Lech Poznań hinted that there might be some truth to these rumors. Luquinhas has a contract with Fortaleza for over two more years, but it is possible that he could temporarily join a top Polish team again.

Luquinhas spent the last season on loan at Legia Warsaw, but they decided not to exercise the purchase option of around 1 million euros. His agent has been in discussions with Lech Poznań's management about a potential transfer. The initiative for this move came primarily from the player's representative. Luquinhas himself has been inquiring among his colleagues if this would be a good move, indicating that he is more interested in the transfer than Lech Poznań might be.
