In recent days, various rumours have put Richard Ríos on Manchester United’s radar as a possible signing for the new season. However, fresh reports indicate that the Eagles have already set the asking price.

According to information reported by Caught Offside, Benfica, led by Rui Costa, are not willing to listen to offers starting below €45 million. The same source explains that the club from Luz want to make a profit from any potential sale of the midfielder, having paid Palmeiras €27 million for him.

Meanwhile, the British outlet goes further and reports that Richard Ríos has two suitors in the Premier League. In addition to Manchester United, who had already been linked in recent days, the same source adds that Marco Silva’s Fulham are also monitoring the situation of Benfica’s number 20.

In addition to the English clubs, the Colombian international, one of Benfica’s untouchables, is also being tracked in Italy by teams such as Napoli, Inter Milan and Roma.
