Inter Milan make Benfica starter their summer plan B | OneFootball

Inter Milan could turn their attention to Benfica midfielder Richard Ríos during the summer transfer window. Although the Italians’ main target remains Manu Koné, the high price tag for the French international currently at Roma (no less than €40 million) is leading the club to assess alternatives, including the Colombian.

According to information reported by Gianluca Di Marzio, the Eagles could consider letting him leave in the summer, opening the door to a transfer. In addition to the side managed by Cristian Chivu, Napoli are also interested, but have yet to make an offer (Read HERE).

The midfielder signed by the Eagles from Palmeiras in last summer’s transfer window has been a regular presence in José Mourinho’s starting XI. In fact, he scored and provided an assist in the Champions League league-phase match between Benfica and Napoli, which ended in a 2-0 victory.

At the moment, the player remains focused on the present and wants to finish the current season on a high note, extending his strong run of form. The player is also preparing to play in the first World Cup of his career.

This season, in the service of Benfica, Richard Ríos — valued at €22 million — has already made a total of 40 official appearances: 22 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 3,200 minutes he has been on the pitch, he has recorded five goals and five assists.
