Report – Inter Milan Remain In The Race For Benfica & Colombia Midfielder Amid Interest From Two Other Serie A Clubs

Inter Milan are reportedly one of the three Serie A clubs interested in signing Benfica star Richard Rios this summer.

According to O Jogo via FCInterNews, the Eagles are reluctant to sell the 25-year-old midfielder and will only entertain mind-blowing offers.

Despite being courted by several top European clubs last summer, Richard Rios joined Benfica from Palmeiras for a reported fee of €27 million.

Furthermore, he has immediately established himself as a permanent first-team fixture at the Estadio da Luz.

Indeed, the Colombian ace has made 41 competitive appearances for Benfica this season, racking up five goals and five assists.

Benfica manager Jose Mourinho views Rios as an indispensable first-team player and has zero interest in letting him leave.

Therefore, sporting director Rui Costa will only consider eye-watering proposals.

Meanwhile, Inter had considered signing Rios last summer before striking a deal with Lens over Andy Diouf’s move to San Siro.

However, the Nerazzurri remain keen on the Colombian, who could replace the French star at San Siro.

In addition to Inter, several Premier League clubs are monitoring the Eagles talisman.

Furthermore, Roma and Napoli are also in the mix.
