Richard Ríos is the latest signing for Al Ittihad. The Saudi club officially announced the acquisition of the Colombian midfielder, who arrives on loan from Benfica until the end of the season.
The 24-year-old player was linked to Benfica, who loaned him to the Arab club during the transfer window. This loan marks another departure for the South American player who played for the Portuguese team.
Ríos is a Colombian international and has been representing Benfica since his transfer to the Portuguese club. The loan to Al Ittihad comes as a way to give the player more minutes during the second half of the season.
Al Ittihad, one of the main clubs in Saudi Arabia, continues to strengthen its squad with international players in order to compete for the main titles in the Saudi league. The financial details of the operation were not disclosed by the club.
