Everton has made contact with Palmeiras to sign midfielder Richard Rios, according to UOL. The Toffees and Leicester have approached the Brazilian club about a deal for the Colombian midfielder, who impressed at Copa America. Palmeiras values Rios between £12.6 million and £16.8 million, but they are reluctant to sell.
Everton needs to bolster their midfield options, and Rios could be the perfect addition. With Amadou Onana set to join Aston Villa for £50 million, there is a significant gap in the squad that needs to be filled. While Onana is a quality player, he doesn’t fit Sean Dyche’s midfield requirements. Rios, with his passing skills and tough tackling style, could be the ideal replacement.
The fee may seem high based on one tournament, but Everton’s scouting department has likely been monitoring Rios for a while and knows if he fits their profile. With money to spend and a midfielder needed, this transfer is one to watch.
Everton has already made some moves in the transfer window, signing Tim Iroegbunam to replace Andre Gomes. However, they still need to decide on Dele Alli’s future, as he travels with the squad for pre-season despite not signing a new contract.
Rios’s potential signing would be a significant coup for Everton, and fans will be eager to see if the deal can be completed. With the transfer window still open, it remains to be seen whether the Toffees can secure the signing of their target.
In other Everton news, one player is reportedly “ready to pack his bags” for a move to Goodison Park this summer. As the transfer window heats up, Everton fans will be keeping a close eye on developments.
The potential addition of Rios would strengthen Everton’s midfield options and provide a boost to their squad. With Dyche’s leadership and Rios’s skills, the Toffees could be a force to be reckoned with in the upcoming season.Everton has made contact with Palmeiras to sign midfielder Richard Rios, according to UOL.
