Manchester United have officially made a move for Palmeiras midfielder Richard Ríos in the past few hours, according to reports from Gazzetta dello Sport.
Roma recently submitted a £22 million offer, but Palmeiras are holding out for closer to £26 million, believing the Colombian’s stock is rising fast after a string of standout performances in Brazil and with the national team.
United’s late entry could shake up the negotiations, as the Premier League giants look to strengthen their midfield depth under new boss Rúben Amorim. Ríos, known for his physicality, ball progression, and fierce work rate, could offer a fresh dynamic to United’s engine room.
With Amorim keen to bring in versatile and hard-working players to fit his pressing style, this could prove to be a shrewd piece of business—especially if United can outmaneuver Roma in the coming days.
“Good move, Reds!” Fans are reacting positively to the news, seeing Ríos as a hidden gem who could thrive on the big stage at Old Trafford
