Hold everything! Bruno Lage wants to poach Benfica's South American | OneFootball

It has already been reported that Benfica have put Richard Ríos on the transfer market, and the Colombian international’s representatives have already met in Europe with the aim of unlocking the midfielder’s future. However, the midfielder’s future could lie in Saudi Arabia and in the hands of... Bruno Lage.

According to exclusive information from the BenficaNow account, Al-Diriyah, the club coached by the Eagles’ former manager, could make an approach to the Club of Light for the 26-year-old midfielder, showing interest in signing the Colombian international.

According to the same source, there have also already been enquiries and interest from other clubs in the former Palmeiras midfielder, but so far there is no concrete proposal on the table for Rui Costa to assess.

BenficaNow was unable to confirm the exact amount Benfica are demanding for Richard Ríos, but they believe that, when dealing with Saudi clubs, the Reds could be looking at figures in the region of 50/60 million euros.

Last season, playing for Benfica, Richard Ríos — valued at 25 million euros — made 45 appearances: 27 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 12 in the Champions League, three in the Portuguese Cup, two in the League Cup and one in the Super Cup. In the 3,638 minutes he was on the pitch, the footballer recorded eight goals and six assists. In 2026/27, he has made six appearances.
