Froholdt or Richard Ríos? FC Porto got the better deal than Benfica | OneFootball

The market brought two new additions for the historic rivals. The Dane Frøholdt was signed by FC Porto, while the Colombian Richard Ríos became a reinforcement for Benfica. Comparisons are already being made about which club made the most advantageous deal.

At Dragão, the arrival of Frøholdt was seen as a considered choice: he is a hardworking midfielder, with great physical availability and considerable potential in European football, acquired for an amount that was high at the time, but now seems moderate. At Benfica, Richard Ríos was seen as an investment in an already established solution, after standing out at Palmeiras and for the Colombian national team, requiring a greater financial effort.

Experts and fans are divided, but Rafael Soares assures that FC Porto came out on top, by securing a reliable player with immediate impact, despite his youth, in contrast to the larger financial gamble made by their rivals from Luz.
