Luis Guilherme spoke about the period when he played alongside Richard Ríos. On the afternoon of this Saturday, the young Brazilian landed in Lisbon, where he will strengthen Sporting, and in statements to the press present at the location, he issued a warning to the Colombian international from Benfica, who was a starter against Estoril.

"I haven't spoken to him, but he's a great player", began the 19-year-old footballer, the first winter signing for the lions. Next, the Brazilian left firmer words directed at his former locker room colleague, with whom he shared the locker room at Palmeiras.

"I played with him but now I'm wearing the Sporting jersey", warned the former West Ham United winger, expressing his anticipation for a reunion with Richard Ríos in the near future, which could happen as early as January 10, if the two teams face each other in the Allianz Cup final.

"He introduced me to the club, spoke very well of the club. I'm very happy to be here", concluded Luis Guilherme, referring to what he heard about the leonine emblem through Mateus Fernandes. According to what was determined, the player will cost 14 million euros to Alvalade's coffers, with the amount potentially increasing by another 3 million, depending on the fulfillment of objectives.

This season, playing for Benfica, Richard Ríos — valued at 22 million euros — has already played 30 official matches: 16 in the Liga Portugal Betclic, 10 in the Champions League, two in the Portuguese Cup, one in the Super Cup, and another in the League Cup. In the 2,488 minutes he was on the field, he scored three goals and provided two assists.
