Motor Lublin vice-president Jakub Jabłoński stated on WeszłoTV that an offer was made by the club for Luquinhas, but this offer was not accepted. Jabłoński said he met with the player's agent on one occasion. He also stated that Motor Lublin did not take part in bidding and assumed they had a small chance against Radomiak and Wisła Płock, partly because the trainer for Radomiak is Gonçalo Feio, who is well known to Luquinhas, and due to locker room and language issues.

Piotr Koźmiński states that Motor Lublin is interested in signing Luquinhas and offers him better financial terms than Radomiak Radom. The decision now depends on Luquinhas, and Santa Clara is not expected to pose a major obstacle.

In Kanał Sportowy, journalist Łukasz Olkowicz stated that Motor Lublin is still seriously pursuing Luquinhas and has not given up on the signing. Motor Lublin is described as being strongly interested in acquiring Luquinhas.

Former Legia player Luquinhas is close to joining Radomiak Radom. The team is managed by Goncalo Feio. It is reported that Radomiak secured the player's signature ahead of other Polish clubs, including Motor Lublin and Wisła Płock. Feio is described as the main advocate for the transfer. Radomiak is set to complete a permanent move for the 29-year-old Brazilian-Portuguese winger, for a fee reported to be 60,000 euros. It was also established that Pogoń Szczecin had been close to signing Luquinhas in the summer before he moved to Santa Clara in September 2025. The winger's contract with the Portuguese club runs until June 2027, and he has made nine appearances and provided one assist in the domestic league this season. His current market value is €1.00m, according to Transfermarkt. A €3.2 million fee was paid by New York Red Bulls in 2022 and €2.3 million was paid by Fortaleza in 2024.
