After António Silva, Tiago Pinto wants another Benfica star at Bournemouth | OneFootball

After securing the signing of António Silva this summer, Bournemouth could return to Benfica’s squad for more reinforcements. This time, the target is Richard Ríos, the Colombian midfielder who has attracted the interest of several European clubs in the final stretch of the transfer window. The English side is among the clubs interested in the player, in a race that also includes Galatasaray, Roma, and Getafe.

Bournemouth’s interest comes at a time when Richard Ríosis going through a less favorable spell at the Estádio da Luz. The coach has favored the partnership of Enzo Barrenechea and Leandro Barreiro, while the imminent arrival of João Palhinha could further reduce the space available.

The situation could lead Benfica to closely assess any potential offers for the Colombian international. Although Galatasaray have already held direct talks with the Eagles, the Turkish club first need to free up a spot in the squad before they can move forward with the signing of Ríos.

From Benfica’s side, the asking price will be set at €40 million to open negotiations for the South American midfielder. The club’s board thus aims to recover a significant part of the investment made in 2025, when they signed Ríos from Palmeiras for €27 million.
