Richard Ríos could depart Benfica before the window closes, with the hierarchy prepared to sanction a loan that includes a compulsory purchase clause.

CNN Portugal reports that the club would accept a temporary move only if it carries an obligation to buy, aimed at securing a meaningful financial return.

The stance marks a change from the initial plan for the Colombian midfielder. Although he remains in the squad, the structure led by Rui Costa is reluctant to approve a simple short-term exit without guarantees.

Despite that position, Ríos has not received any official loan offer. There is interest around the player, but nothing concrete has moved towards a deal.

The situation is likely to be monitored until the final moments of the window. Benfica want a solution that works both sporting and financially, and the player’s future depends on a proposal that meets the club’s demands.
