The name of Richard Ríos has won prominence in the European market after its performance at the Club World Cup with Palmeiras, in which it was one of the figures despite the elimination in the quarterfinals.
The Colombian midfielder, also consolidated in the national team, has become one of the most wanted players by clubs in the old continent, who see in him a complete steering wheel, with immediate projection.
Richard Ríos, surrounded by suitors
The most advanced situation is with Rome, which already has the approval of the player, but still does not reach an agreement with Palmeiras.
The first offer was 24 million more bonds and was rejected by the Brazilian club, which demands 30 million. Given this, the Italian team prepares a new proposal of 25 million plus three in variables, hoping to close the negotiation soon.
The problem for Italians is that they are not the only ones interested. This week, the Zenit of St. Petersburg presented a formal offer for the 30 million that Palmeiras asks, but it was Ríos himself who ruled out.

In addition to these clubs, Benfica, Manchester United and Atalanta have also expressed interest, although none has yet presented a specific offer.
With a current contract in Palmeiras and an upward price, the future of Richard Ríos seems to be close to Europe, but the Brazilian club will not easily yield unless its economic conditions are met.
