"Manchester United have reportedly made formal contact over a potential transfer move for Benfica midfielder Richard Rios. The Colombia international has shone during his time in Portugal, and it seems he's been identified as a potential replacement for Casemiro in Man Utd's midfield."
"United will no doubt be keen to invest in new signings in midfield as Casemiro is coming towards the end of his contract, while Manuel Ugarte has largely flopped during his time at Old Trafford."
"Rios is the latest name to be linked with United, and he's one of the cheaper options out there if recent transfer rumours are anything to go by."
"If United can win the race for a world class talent like Anderson, then that wouldn't leave them with much more to spend, so a cheaper option like Rios could be ideal."
Manchester United has made formal contact regarding a transfer for Benfica midfielder Richard Rios, who has performed well in Portugal. Rios is seen as a potential replacement for Casemiro, whose contract is nearing its end. The reported fee of around 35 million is considered reasonable in the current market. United may need to make multiple midfield signings, especially after Manuel Ugarte's underwhelming performance. Rios is viewed as a more affordable option compared to other targets like Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson, who could cost significantly more.
