It is highly unlikely that Benfica will keep Richard Rios beyond the end of this season, and it is likely that offers in the region of €45m will be accepted. Interested clubs currently value Rios at around €30m. There is concrete interest, and it is suggested that clubs might move for Rios earlier if Benfica are ready to enter into negotiations.

Fulham and Manchester United have contacted the representatives of Richard Ríos to assess the possibility of a summer signing. The 25-year-old Colombian Benfica midfielder has also received approaches from Napoli, Inter, and Roma. Benfica would only be prepared to negotiate a transfer for a fee that is significantly higher than the €27 million they invested in him. Ríos also plans to remain in Lisbon. His contract with the Portuguese club is valid until 2030, and he has 30 caps for Colombia. In the 2025/2026 Liga Portugal season, he has made 23 appearances, with 2 goals and 3 assists. According to recent reports from April 2026, Benfica's asking price is over €35 million, while Transfermarkt lists his current market value at €22.00m.
