Jaiminho: Farense winger linked with Leiria switch in Liga Portugal 2 rumour

Portugal and Guinea-Bissau right winger Jaiminho of Farense is being linked with a move to fellow Liga Portugal 2 side Leiria, with the 28-year-old’s situation fuelling talk he could be available as a potential free agent.

The attacker, who wears the No 21 shirt for Farense, is listed with a market value of around €200,000, a figure seen as modest for an experienced wide player at this level and one that has encouraged interest within the division. Transfermarkt data, scraped on 2 July 2026, records a rumoured switch from the Faro club to Leiria, with the probability of the move marked only as “?”, underlining that negotiations – if any – are at an early and speculative stage.

Contract details for Jaiminho at Farense are currently unclear, with no start date or expiry date publicly registered. That uncertainty has prompted suggestions he could either be nearing the end of his deal or moving towards free-agent status, a scenario that would lower the financial barrier for Leiria if they decide to firm up their interest.

Born in Vila do Conde on 28 September 1997, the 1.83m winger is a predominantly right‑footed attacker who operates mainly on the right flank but is capable across the forward line. Holding dual nationality with Portugal and Guinea-Bissau, he has spent his senior career in Portuguese football and is now established in Liga Portugal 2 with Farense.

Recent league data from Farense’s campaign in the second tier shows Jaiminho involved regularly on the right side of attack, contributing with his direct running rather than headline goal numbers, as Farense navigated a tightly contested season in Portugal’s second tier.

With Leiria also competing in Liga Portugal 2, any move would be a lateral step within the same division but could offer Jaiminho a fresh platform. If the transfer materialises, it may prove a pivotal moment in his late‑prime years, shaping both his reputation in Portugal’s professional ranks and any future push towards a higher level.
