Ricardo Velho, a goalkeeper for Farense, is on Benfica's list of potential goalkeepers. The club is contemplating a summer move for him, as they prefer not to make a significant investment in January. Benfica is facing competition from other major clubs, including Sporting and FC Porto, who have also inquired about the conditions for acquiring Velho. The player's release clause, set at €10 million, has posed a challenge for Benfica. Bruno Lage, the coach of Benfica, has shown interest in Velho after watching his performance. Rui Costa, the president of Benfica, is anticipated to meet with Farense officials to prepare for possible negotiations in the summer.

In the summer, Ricardo Velho was associated with interest from Benfica. João Rodrigues, the president of Farense, confirmed that they received proposals for the goalkeeper but did not disclose the interested parties. He mentioned that the proposals were concrete but not satisfactory for either Farense or the player, Ricardo Velho.

Ricardo Velho's name is now associated with Benfica. Farense's administration, led by João Rodrigues, is considering offers for the player.

Ricardo Velho, a goalkeeper from Farense, was under consideration by Benfica but the process will not move forward. Benfica is looking for a goalkeeper but does not want to make a large investment.
