Rafa Mújica was absent from training to travel to Qatar to discuss contract details with Al Saad. He is expected to return to Arouca on Thursday.

Rafa Mújica, Spanish center forward of the Portuguese Arouca, has traveled to Doha to sign for Al-Sadd, which proclaimed itself winner of the Qatar Stars League at the end of April. According to the club, Mújica, who has scored 20 goals this season in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, has traveled to pass medical exams and sign the contract, without the number of seasons or the economic agreement having been disclosed. Although there is an economic agreement between Al-Sadd and Arouca, the amount of the transfer has not yet been disclosed, which could be around 10 million euros, the player's termination clause.

Rafa Mújica was absent from the game with Estrela da Amadora. Coach Daniel Sousa justified the reasons for leaving the striker out of the game, stating that Rafa is in a negotiation and the club and the player decided that it was not viable for him to be used in that game.

Gigi Becalli, the president of Steaua Bucareste, expressed interest in acquiring Rafa Mújica from Arouca. However, Mihai Stoica, the general director of the club, had to explain to Becalli that it would not be possible to sign the striker, which infuriated the president.
