Benfica strengthened in recent weeks with two new players. The Moroccan left-back Soffian El Karouani and the Argentine attacking midfielder Claudio Echeverri were the "Eagles" signings during this period.
Coach Marco Silva commented on the role that Claudio Echeverri could have in the team, expressing satisfaction with the Argentine's arrival at the club.
On the other hand, Colombian international Richard Ríos left Benfica on loan, transferring to the Saudi side Al-Ittihad.
However, Marco Silva didn't rule out the possibility of Ríos returning at the end of the season, leaving the door open for a possible return of the Colombian player.
