Benfica reached an agreement to loan the Colombian midfielder Richard Ríos to Al Ittihad, a club from Saudi Arabia. The loan represents an opportunity for the player to gain international experience and competitive rhythm.

Richard Ríos, from Colombia, is a midfielder who recently arrived at Benfica and will now move to Arab football. The agreement with Al Ittihad allows the player to continue his development in a growing league.

Benfica maintains control over the player, who will return to the Portuguese club after the loan period. This operation allows the Portuguese club to free up budget space while monitoring the athlete's progress.

Al Ittihad is one of the most relevant clubs in Saudi Arabia, a country that has been investing heavily in football to elevate the level of its national league.
