Rochinha has not been included in Hugo Oliveira's plans for the first three matchdays of the league, indicating a clear sign that a departure is imminent. A return abroad is seen as the most probable scenario for the 30-year-old winger, with a continuation in Portugal deemed unlikely. Despite having two years left on his contract, a loan move is possible as the club's management, led by Miguel Ribeiro, and the player's entourage are seeking a solution to relieve Famalicão of Rochinha's salary burden.
