Arouca has lost Omar Fayed, central who is no longer a starter after just 10 games. The player, on loan from Fenerbahçe until the end of the season, will return to Turkey. He was a starter in the last match of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against Tondela, but it was not enough. Omar Fayed arrived at Arouca in the summer and the wolves reserved a purchase option clause that they decided not to activate. The second half of the season saw his playing time reduced significantly due to the signing of Javi Sánchez for the defense axis. Arouca will not activate the purchase option clause of the central, agreed upon with Fenerbahçe. Omar Fayed will return to Turkey and Arouca will continue to look for a replacement for his place in the defense.
