Benfica join Nottingham Forest, Wolves and Roma in race to sign Richard Rios after Palmeiras reject three offers for Club World Cup star

<p>According to <a href="https://www.record.pt/futebol/futebol-nacional/liga-betclic/benfica/detalhe/richard-rios-esta-identificado-pelo-benfica-mas-e-um-alvo-complicado?ref=Benfica_DestaquesPrincipais" target="_blank"><em>Record</em></a>, Benfica have joined the growing list of clubs chasing Rios. After rejecting offers from Roma, Forest, and Wolves which all fell below €30 million (£25m/$34m), Palmeiras are still holding firm on their valuation. Benfica have tabled an offer worth €25m (£21m/$29m) flat, but it still falls short of the Brazilian club's demands.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Rios has become one of the most sought-after midfielders in the market following standout performances at the Club World Cup and in Brazil’s domestic campaign. Roma have made him a key midfield target and offered €23m (£20m/$26m) plus €3m (£2.5m/$3.5m) in bonuses, but Palmeiras are under no pressure to sell unless their €30m asking price is met. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Rios has reportedly given the green light to join Roma, preferring the Serie A side over all other suitors, but they will have to up their bid if the deal is to go ahead.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The likes of Forest and Wolves could return with improved offers for the 25-year-old, while Palmeiras may compromise on the fee should the Colombian put pressure on the club for a move.</p>
