Marco Silva spoke about Richard Ríos's departure from Benfica on loan. The encarnado coach underlined that the Brazilian midfielder never heard from his lips that he wasn't part of the club's plans, making it clear that Ríos remains linked to Benfica.
The technical coach compared Ríos's situation to that of Ivanovic, another player who was loaned to Lens. This comparison serves to illustrate that both cases are similar in terms of technical choices management.
Marco Silva emphasized that a possible return of Ríos is perfectly possible, demonstrating that the loan doesn't represent a definitive separation of the player from the Lisbon club.
