Benfica accelerates on the Richard Rios track. While Roma is preparing to finalize the arrival of El Aynaoui, the Portuguese club sends its sports director Rui Pedro Braz to Brazil to try to complete the transfer of the middle of Palmeiras according to Sky Sport. The objective is clear, ahead of competition, notably that of Roma, which has already offered 25 million euros more bonus to attach the services of the Colombian.
The 25 -year -old midfielder, also targeted by the AS Rome coach, Gian Piero Gasperini, seduced by his play volume as well as his versatility, would check all the boxes in the profile sought by Benfica. Richard Rios, trained in Flamengo, has established himself in Palmeiras and now attracts the attention of several greats from Europe. Benfica hopes to take advantage of the complexity of Roman negotiations to go ahead. The Colombian international (19 selections) could therefore leave Brazil this summer.
