Roma intensify talks to sign Richard Rios

Sources with direct knowledge of the matter tell me that club-to-club negotiations continued on Tuesday night.

Roma are willing to finalise a deal for the 25-year-old quickly to give Gian Piero Gasperini his first reinforcement for the 2025-26 campaign.

Porto have been in talks with Palmeiras too, but have never narrowed their €30m asking price, contrary to Roma.

Gasp waits for double deal from Brazil

Other media linked Inter with a move to Ríos, but the truth is that Roma are the only Serie A side in talks for the Colombia international.

While Roma director Frederic Massara is working to finalise agreements with all the parties, coach Gasperini is waiting for updates and has targeted another player in the Brazilian league: Flamengo right-back Wesley.
