A Bola reports that Rochinha and Famalicão have mutually decided to end their association after a two-year connection. The 31-year-old player and the club terminated the contract that was valid until 2027. The contract termination was considered the best solution for both parties, as Rochinha was not part of Hugo Oliveira's plans, having participated in only two matches in the previous season. Rochinha is now a free agent.

According to A Bola, Rochinha's future with Famalicão is uncertain. Rochinha has one more season on his contract with the club. A departure would depend on either a proposal being received by the club's management or a mutual agreement between the club and Rochinha for a friendly contract termination.

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.
