Luquinhas, a midfielder who was recently linked with Legia Warszawa, is close to completing his transfer to Russian second division team Torpiedo Moskwa. The deal is reaching its final phase after several weeks, and Luquinhas has already arrived in Europe. He is anticipated to sign a contract with the Russian second division club soon. Legia had the option to purchase the Brazilian midfielder, but the new sports director Michał Żewłakow decided against it, considering the over one million euro fee unjustifiable. Luquinhas has returned to Fortaleza, where he has been training on his own, as the club no longer includes him in their future plans.

Luquinhas is set to be part of a swap deal between Fortaleza and Torpiedo Moskwa, with Yeison Guzmán moving in the opposite direction. Negotiations are reportedly nearing completion, with the final decision pending on whether Luquinhas will move as a loan or a permanent transfer.

Luquinhas received an attractive offer to play in Arabian football and is very excited about this possibility. The specific team from the Middle East is unknown, but the matter seems advanced.

Real Salt Lake City showed interest in Luquinhas, the former Fortaleza player. The club reached out to the midfielder, but his likely direction is towards Arabian football.
