According to A Bola, Benfica are willing to listen to offers for Richard Rios this summer. Benfica were initially not planning an imminent sale of the Colombia international, but a disappointing end to the season has convinced club chiefs that a summer rebuild is required. This makes raising funds from sales necessary, and Rios is one player who could now be sold. Although Rios has a €100m release clause, Benfica could consider a sale for as low as €30m.

Richard Ríos, a 25-year-old Colombian midfielder, has been linked with interest from Italian and English clubs, including Napoli, Inter, and Manchester United. Benfica plans for Richard Ríos to be part of the team for the next season, having signed him in July 2025 on a contract that is valid until 2030. A transfer will only be considered for values significantly above 30 million euros. Benfica's asking price is reportedly over €35 million, and some reports from April 2026 valued a potential move to Napoli at between €40 million and €45 million. It is unlikely that formal talks will happen before this summer's World Cup, where Ríos could increase his value. He has 30 caps and 2 goals for Colombia. His current market value, according to Transfermarkt, is €22.00m.
