Galatasaray has contacted Benfica for their 26-year-old Colombian defensive midfielder, Richard Rios, and direct talks have taken place between the two clubs. Before Galatasaray can acquire Rios, they will need to create a space in their squad by offloading another player. The player's contract with Benfica runs until 2030, and Roma, Getafe, and AFC Bournemouth have also been linked with him.
