Luis Campos has been interested for several months in Richard Rios, a Colombian midfielder who plays for Palmeiras. But after a long period of observation, PSG is in full doubt.
After recruiting Joao Neves during the previous transfer window, Paris Saint-Germain continues to look for good opportunities to strengthen its midfield. For several months, Luis Campos has been paying attention to the performances of Richard Rios, a 24-year-old Colombian midfielder who plays for Palmeiras. Last summer, PSG tried to bring in this player with an offer estimated at nearly 20 million euros. Determined to keep his best midfielder, Palmeiras refused. But the Brazilian club, facing some financial difficulties, is now open to the sale of Richard Rios. A boon for PSG?
PSG has big doubts about Richard Rios
Not really because in the meantime, the capital club has changed its mind and is increasingly hesitant about the Colombian international. According to information from the specialized media Antenna 2Paris Saint-Germain is no longer so sure of wanting to sign Richard Rios in January. The player's last performances with Colombia disappointed, and Luis Campos didn't miss a beat. From there to definitively giving up a player followed by PSG scouts for months? Not necessarily because according to the Colombian media, an alternative plan could be developed by the reigning French champion.
Luis Campos would welcome a transfer of Richard Rios to PSG this winter, before loaning the player immediately to South America to continue to gain playing time and experience before his arrival in Paris, which would therefore come to fruition in the summer of 2025. A strategy which must nevertheless suit the player, who is eager to discover Europe in order to play at the highest level. West Ham and Fiorentina are also on the lookout in the Richard Rios case, and we now do not know how this story will end as PSG no longer seems 100% convinced by the player.
