Carvalhas, who has scored seven goals this season, has spoken of his desire for a move from the side currently in 13th place in the Segunda Liga.

In a recent interview he said: “I have had a good season and perhaps this summer is the moment for me to try a new challenge outside of Portugal.

“I am waiting to see what happens but I have decided that I now want to accept a new challenge.”
