Roma is one of several clubs that have made approaches for 25-year-old Colombian midfielder Richard Ríos, with Napoli and Inter also having made inquiries. More recently, Manchester United and Fulham contacted the player's representatives to evaluate a potential summer transfer. Roma had previously been interested in Ríos last summer before Benfica acquired him from Palmeiras for €27 million. The player's contract with the Lisbon-based club runs until 2030 and includes a €100 million release clause, and Benfica would only be prepared to negotiate a sale for a figure significantly higher than their initial investment. The Colombian international, who has 30 caps and 2 goals for his country, has made 23 appearances, scored 2 goals, and provided 3 assists in the 2025/2026 Liga Portugal season. His current Transfermarkt market value is €22.00m, and in April 2026 reports linked him with a move to Napoli at a valuation of around €40-45 million, with Benfica's asking price reportedly over €35 million.
