Manchester United might be interested in signing a star player from this summer's global scene.
Although they are not playing as a forward, Manchester United are interested in bringing the most successful dribbler from Copa America to Old Trafford this summertime.
Manchester United are looking at alternatives to Casemiro's struggle from last year, which will provide more energy and protective stability in midfield.
In order to strengthen Erik ten Hag's club ahead of the new Premier League season, it appears that the Red Devils have found a prospective deal in South America.
According to Goal Brazil, Manchester United are preparing a £17m give for Palmeiras midfielder Richard Rios, who lately shone at Copa America 2024 with Colombia.
While Colombia lost the final to Argentina, Rios stood out for his appearances in central midfield. The 24-year-old dictated sing, broke up opposition attacks and, interestingly, was the most powerful dribbler at the tournament, with 18 effective dribbles completed- Lionel Messi, in comparison, managed only 12. He even managed to score a long-range efforts against Panama in the quarter-finals.
Palmeiras are n't willing to lose another player this summer, though. Endrick is set to finish his long-awaited move to Real Madrid this year, while Luis Guilherme joined West Ham United. Abel Ferreira, the team's manager, underscored Rios ' commitment to his coming and reinforced his worth.
" We have already made a lot of money from income", Ferreira said. " Then, we need to rely on solutions on the pitch".
Despite Rios having missed the next 11 league matches according to his foreign presence, Palmeiras are now fighting at the top of Brazil's Serie A. The report suggests that they will, as a result, not input into any agreements for Rios.
Valued at only £8.5m by Transfermarkt, Rios ' contract is due to expire in December 2026. Palmeiras, thus, have plenty of power in this situation. In DataVictory's view, it seems implausible the Brazilian did flee this summer as a result- though a big transfer fee from Manchester United had surely encourage Palmeiras into letting him leave.
