Raków Częstochowa says goodbye to their striker. The transfer was expected for a long time.
What happened to Rocha?
Leonardo Rocha spent the autumn round of the previous season at Zagłębie Lubin, where he performed very well. He was the leader of the offense, scored seven goals, and Leszek Ojrzyński highly praised this cooperation.
Why is Rocha leaving Raków?
Unexpectedly, during the winter window, Raków Częstochowa shortened his loan - on the one hand, they were counting on the striker in the second part of the campaign, and on the other hand, they were willing to negotiate with Medaliki for a definitive transfer. Rocha himself wanted to stay in Lubin and was pushing for an agreement between the clubs.
How does this relate to the current situation of the club?
Currently, Raków Częstochowa is in 4th place in Ekstraklasa, with 55 points, 16 wins, 7 draws, and 11 losses. They won their last match 3-0 against Arka Gdynia, which shows that the club is in good form.
What's next?
The new employer of the 29-year-old will be JEF United Ichihara Chiba. Raków officially announced his definitive transfer to Japan. Raków Częstochowa has now scored 51 goals and conceded 40, giving them a +11 goal difference. They are 5 points behind the leader, Lech Poznań. Their last 5 matches have been 4 wins and 1 loss, which shows they are in good form.
