Froholdt or Richard Ríos? “Porto got the better deal over Benfica” | OneFootball

The market presented two new developments for the historical rivals. The Dane Frøholdt was signed by FC Porto, while the Colombian Richard Ríos became a reinforcement for Benfica. Comparisons are already emerging about which club made the more advantageous deal.

At Dragão, the arrival of Frøholdt was seen as a considered choice: he is a hardworking midfielder with great physical availability and considerable potential in European football, acquired for an amount that was high at the time but now seems moderate. At Benfica, Richard Ríos was viewed as an investment in an already established solution, after standing out at Palmeiras and the Colombian national team, requiring a greater financial effort.

Experts and fans are divided, but Rafael Soares assures that FC Porto came out on top, by securing a reliable player with immediate performance, despite his youth, in contrast to the greater financial bet of their rival from Luz.
