This past summer transfer window, Paris Saint-Germain was linked to Palmeiras’ Richard Rios. Moreover, a report revealed that PSG made a €20 million offer to the Brazilian club for the 24-year-old Colombian.
Following loan deals that saw Cher Ndour head to Beşiktaş and Gabriel Moscardo join Stade de Reims, it was clear that PSG could use more midfield depth, which explains the Rios rumors.
However, UOL also reported in the summer that the president of Palmeiras has informed the board members that Rios is not for sale despite PSG’s increased offer of €20 million.
Although the January transfer window is still a few months away, Manchester United are keen on securing Rios to bolster their midfield. CaughtOffside reported on Tuesday, citing sources, that the Red Devils are joined by Fulham, Everton, Wolverhampton Wanderers, and AC Milan as admirers of the 24-year-old.
The report also adds that Palmeiras are now ready to consider selling the midfielder after taking a stiff stance against selling him.
Following his performance at the 2024 Copa América, he became a household name, where he helped Colombia reach the final before losing to Argentina. Rios joined Palmeiras in 2023 and has made 94 appearances for the Brazilian side, scoring five goals and registering four assists.
