The Colombian midfielder Richard Ríos is leaving Benfica for Al Ittihad, from Saudi Arabia. The transfer deal was concluded during the early hours, with the two clubs exchanging all the necessary documentation to make the operation official.
Ríos travels today and no longer trains at Seixal, Benfica's training center. This transfer comes at a time when the 24-year-old player was looking for more playing time, something he was not getting in Lisbon.
Al Ittihad, a club based in Jeddah, thus secures the services of the Colombian international, who had been representing Benfica since 2023. The value and financial terms of the deal were not detailed in the article.
