Richard Ríos' future at Benfica remains uncertain, with the Lisbon giants open to a transfer for the Colombian midfielder should a financially attractive offer materialize. The 26-year-old has garnered interest from several clubs, and now Al Ittihad from Saudi Arabia has entered the race.
According to the newspaper El Tiempo, the Saudi team, home to Danilo Pereira and Roger Fernandes, and also rumored to be the most likely destination for... Pedro Gonçalves, has joined the list of suitors. As A BOLA previously reported, Roma, Getafe, and Bournemouth are also in contention.
Despite a strong season, where he made 45 appearances, scoring eight goals and providing six assists, and gaining significant exposure through his World Cup participation with the Colombian national team, Ríos' continuity at the Eagles is not guaranteed. This is particularly true following the signing of João Palhinha, which has intensified competition in midfield. The Colombian represented a substantial investment for Benfica last season, with the club paying Palmeiras 27 million euros, plus an additional 419,000 euros for the solidarity mechanism.
As long as the transfer window remains open, Richard Ríos will continue to train with the Benfica squad, awaiting preliminary discussions to evolve into a definitive offer that meets the club's financial expectations.
