The Colombian national team midfielder was one of the most outstanding players in the Copa América and there are several clubs interested.
News Sports.
Richard Ríos was one of the great revelations of the national team in the Copa América that Argentina won, with controversy included due to the two dubious penalties that many believed were not called in favor of Colombia, added to the fact that 8 days have passed and Conmebol has still not released the audios of the decisions made by the VAR regarding those two crucial plays.

The 24-year-old footballer, born in Vegachí, Antioquia, belongs to Palmeiras of Brazil, but it seems that his days at that club are numbered due to the interest of big clubs in acquiring the services of the midfielder, who before playing professional football dedicated himself to indoor football.
The proposal made by Fulham of England to the Verdao to sign Ríos (the new heartthrob of the ‘tricolor’) would be joined by that of Milan of Italy, a team that has had other Colombians among its ranks, such as Mario Alberto Yepes, Cristian Zapata, Jherson Vergara and Carlos Bacca.
Although the Brazilian club’s intention is not to let him go this summer, an offer from a European giant would make the team’s management think about the future of the player, who has demonstrated all his talent for controlling the ball on the field.
Its about Manchester Uniteda Premier League team that is reportedly planning to offer Palmeiras 17 million euros (around 74 billion pesos) to acquire the new jewel of Colombian football, according to information from Rudy Gallety.

Manchester United is one of the most traditional teams in England, always fighting for the league and for Champions and Europa League spots, so it would be a great club for Ríos in his eventual first experience in European football. Radamel Falcao García, current striker for Millonarios, played for the ‘Red Devils’, as the English club is known.
It should be noted that, according to information from Transfermarket, Ríos’ transfer is valued at 10 million euros, so it would be a good deal for Palmeiras to sell him for 7 million more.
