Barricade! Rui Costa misses Benfica signing payment... bank to blame | OneFootball

A banking processing error caused Benfica to miss part of the payment for Richard Ríos - who gave his teammates a hard time in the last game. Rui Costa has already sent a portion of the amount to Palmeiras, but the reds may have missed a stipulated date due to external problems.

According to information advanced by the newspaper A Bola, Rui Costa has already paid the Brazilian emblem a total of 4.5 million euros. A similar amount should have been sent to the canaries by September 15th, but it failed due to a processing error.

The sports daily assures that the financial departments of Benfica and Palmeiras have been in constant contact since then. Rui Costa may have already spoken directly with the CEO of the club managed by Abel Ferreira, trying to clarify the situation.

The same source states that, meanwhile, Benfica's officials have already made a payment of another 4.5 million euros, hoping that the amount will be available to Palmeiras from next Monday, September 22nd.

In the current season, serving Benfica, Richard Ríos – valued at 16 million euros – has played eight matches: four in the Champions League, three in the Liga Portugal Betclic and one in the Supercup.
