Carlos Barbosa da Cruz, a CMTV commentator, commented on Ríos' move to Arabia. The commentator considered that this transfer reflects the lack of appreciation the player received during his time at Benfica.
According to Carlos Barbosa da Cruz, the move to Arabia was the only viable possibility for the player. This was due to the fact that the player was undervalued during his time at the Portuguese club.
The commentator also mentioned that Ríos' undervaluation at Benfica was reflected in the lack of interest shown by European clubs. This absence of offers from European clubs forced the player to accept the transfer to the Arab league.
