Sport nationEverton’s pursuit of Colombian international Richard Rios has been complicated by Manchester United’s interest in the player. According to reports, Palmeiras, Rios’ current club, has increased the player’s price tag from £16.8m to £77.4m due to Manchester United’s involvement.
Everton was initially keen to sign Rios after his impressive performance at the Copa America, but Manchester United’s interest has changed the dynamics of the transfer. Palmeiras is now only willing to consider offers that meet Rios’ €90m (£77.4m) release clause, making it difficult for Everton to secure the deal.
The situation has become even more complex with AC Milan and Juventus also showing interest in Rios. Everton’s chances of signing the player now appear slim, and Palmeiras may be willing to reconsider their stance later in the summer.
Rios’ value is currently high after his impressive performance at the Copa America, and Palmeiras may not get a better opportunity to sell him for a premium fee. However, the asking price of £77.4m is still extremely high for a player from the Brasileiro Série A, and it’s unlikely that any club will maintain their interest at that price.
Everton’s transfer activity has been busy this summer, with the club looking to strengthen its squad. However, the pursuit of Rios has been a setback, and the club may need to explore alternative options.
Manchester United’s interest in Rios has added a new layer of complexity to the transfer market. The club’s financial power and stature have given them an advantage in the pursuit of top talent, and it remains to be seen how this will impact Everton’s transfer plans.
In other news, Trent Alexander-Arnold has praised Everton player Alex Iwobi, saying he doesn’t get enough credit for his performances. Iwobi has been an important player for Everton, and his contributions have not gone unnoticed by his peers.
The transfer market continues to be unpredictable, and Everton’s pursuit of Rios is just one example of the complexities involved. The club will need to be strategic in their transfer dealings to secure the players they need to strengthen their squad.Everton’s pursuit of Colombian international Richard Rios has been complicated by Manchester United’s interest in the player.
