Tiago Pinto link as Bournemouth ‘to join’ race for Benfica’s Richard Ríos | OneFootball

Bournemouth have been linked with Benfica midfielder Richard Ríos, a connection drawing attention given Tiago Pinto’s role in the English club’s hierarchy.

According to Glorioso 1904, the south coast side are the latest to show interest in the Colombia international.

They join a growing list of suitors that includes Manchester United, Fulham, Napoli and Milan, with attention around the player building in recent weeks.

The situation carries extra context through Pinto’s path from Benfica to Roma and, more recently, to Bournemouth, with his knowledge of Portuguese football potentially relevant to any development.

With the new season nearing, Ríos’s future remains open, whether staying at Benfica or heading abroad, and the matter is still evolving.

Ríos was heavily used last term, making 48 appearances with eight goals and six assists, and he became an influential figure in a team now coached by Marco Silva.
