Arrival at Palmeiras

Richard Ríos joined Verdão at the beginning of 2023, after standing out for Guarani in the Campeonato Paulista. Quickly adapting, the midfielder easily won over Palmeiras fans, scoring goals early in his journey wearing the shirt of Brazil’s Most Successful Club.

The Colombian is considered a major success story for Palmeiras, signed for around R$ 6 million and sold to Benfica for a fixed fee of € 30 million (about R$ 195 million at the current exchange rate), with Verdão receiving 70% of the amount.
