West Ham asked for Richard Rios, but Palmeiras rejected the offer

One of the most sought-after Colombians internationally in the current transfer market is Richard Ríos, who after a great Copa América, has raised the interest of several of the best clubs in Europe.

In the midst of the biggest competition at the national team level on the continent, there was talk of interest from Juventus, Manchester United, and some other clubs such as Fenerbahce and Roma have also shown their intentions with the Colombian, without reaching a successful conclusion in the midst of their interest.

Now, a new suitor has emerged, straight from English football. This would be West Ham, a team that would have asked about the player from Vegachí, Antioquia, However, like the other teams that have shown some attraction to Ríos, They received a rejection from Palmeiras, the team that owns the majority of their sporting rights.

“Palmeiras again rejected an attack from European football for midfielder Richard Ríos, valued after the Copa América dispute. This time it was West Ham-ING who sought the Colombian”was what the media ‘UOL’ reported.

It was even said that the Hammers would have been willing to pay a maximum of 25 million euros, however, the negotiations did not end up moving forward due to the refusal of the ‘Verdao’, a team that does not want to let the Colombian go, at least, for this transfer market.

“The Hammers showed interest and were willing to pay between 22 and 25 million euros. The search, however, did not advance, since the English team heard from the Alviverde board that they would not negotiate with the 24-year-old athlete,” the previously cited media outlet read.

For the moment, according to ‘UOL’, Palmeiras will only listen to proposals that are close to the player’s release clause, which is set at 100 million euros. “In recent weeks, Olympique de Marseille and Fenerbahçe also tried to sign Richard Ríos, but were met with a refusal from Palmeiras. The São Paulo club has already warned that it will negotiate with the Colombian only the value of the fine for termination: 100 million euros,” They complemented the information in the Brazilian media.

It should be noted that the midfielder has a contract with Palmeiras until 2026, so the ‘alviverde’ team has the right to listen to or not to offers for Richard Ríos.

According to the transfer market specialist, ‘Transfermarkt’, the Colombian is valued at 10 million euros.
