PSG closely follows Colombian midfielder from Palmeiras Richard Rios. The Paulista club refused to sell him last summer despite PSG's concrete approach. The situation will be very different in January.
He is the providential man, the one hoped for by Parisian supporters to eject Fabian Ruiz from the starting eleven for good. At 24, Richard Rios has already shown the extent of his talent in Brazilian but also South American football. He won two Brazilian championship titles, one with Flamengo in 2020 and the other with Palmeiras in 2023. The second title is the most notable because Rios really weighed on his team's play with his very own technique. Qualities that would do PSG good. The Parisians understood this well, trying to recruit Richard Rios last summer with an offer of 20 million euros. However, Palmeiras cut the negotiations short.
Palmeiras will not retain Rios this winter
The Paulista club refused to sell its player before the end of the championship, which is scheduled for December 2024. On this date, everything will be possible for Richard Rios. The transfer of the Colombian during the next winter transfer window is a very credible option. This is confirmed by the media from Rios's native country LaFM but also by Palmeiras coach Abel Ferreira.
« I don't know if they will all stay next year. We were one of the teams that made the most changes last offseason “, said the Brazilian coach pessimistically. Everything indicates that Rios will very quickly make the big leap to Europe. If West Ham and Fiorentina are also in the running, PSG is the big favorite to recruit Richard Rios according to local media. Luis Campos just has to refine his future offer because this time, the door is wide open.
