As: Tottenham and other Premier League teams are interested in Rios, Palmeiras asks for more than 25 million euros
According to the Spanish media "As", Palmeiras midfielder Richard Rios performed well in the Club World Cup, and many Premier League teams are interested in signing him, but Palmeiras's attitude is clear: a huge offer, otherwise there will be no talks.
Club World Cup has become an excellent display platform for many players to make their mark on the international stage, and Richard Rios is the best example.
It is reported that Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest and Tottenham from the Premier League have been closely watching Richard Rios' performance. Whether it is throughout the season or in this game, Premier League teams have a long interest in him.
West Ham tried to sign him last summer, but Palmeiras refused to contact him. Despite rumors that Atletico Madrid may be interested, sources denied this: "No Spanish club has ever been in contact."
Palmeiras has no intention of selling, especially unwilling to let players like Richard Rios go. In the eyes of the club's management, the only situation where Richard Rios may leave the team is a huge offer in front of him, with the price code being higher than 25 million euros. There is currently a clear bottom line: he will not leave until the end of the Club World Cup.
Club Chairman Lera Pereira said: "To reach a deal, there must be interests of players, Palmeiras and any other relevant parties. If either party is not interested, the agreement cannot be reached. My decision is based on the existing contract."
In the past two years, Palmeiras' revenue has exceeded 180 million euros through transfers such as Enderick (Real Madrid, 60 million euros), Estewan (Chelsea, 65 million euros), Rees (Manchester City, 40 million euros) and Luis Guillerme (West Ham, 23 million euros), etc.
If Richard Rios' transfer is finalized, it will become one of the club's most significant deals in terms of profitability. Richard Rios joined in 2023 at a price of just over 1 million euros. In two seasons, Richard Rios's net worth has increased sharply, and the current estimate is that Germany's turnover price is 16 million euros.
