Palmeiras are holding firm on an asking price of €30 million for Inter Milan and West Ham United target Richard Rios.
This according to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, via FCInterNews.
Links have emerged between Inter Milan and Palmeiras midfielder Richard Rios over the last couple days.
Reportedly, the Colombian international has come onto the Nerazzurri’s radar as a possible replacement for Hakan Calhanoglu in the event they lose him to Galatasaray or another club.
Rios has a release clause in his contract worth €100 million. However, it would not take that fee to sign the 25-year-old from Palmeiras.
On the contrary, the Brazilian giants would likely accept an offer of around €30 million.
Palmeiras Hold Firm On €30M Asking Price For Inter & West Ham Target Richard Rios
According to Mundo Deportivo, however, Palmeiras are not going to be negotiated down as far as a fee for Rios goes.
The Spanish outlet reports that the Brazilian club have already communicated this to Inter.
Furthermore, MD report, West Ham United have already tested the waters with an offer. The Londoners have bid €25 million to sign Rios, they anticipate.
However, according to MD, Palmeiras have rejected this offer out of hand.
The Brazilians will insist on their €30 million valuation to sell Rios this summer, MD report.
We always negotiate like beggars, a player is in his prime with a $100m release clause and we’re asking for a discount on 1/3 of that. If he’s good $30m is a bargain, if he isnt worth that why waste time
Just Pay the damn $30m, he is worth it from what ive been seeing this summer.
Or move on to someone else if he isnt worth the 30m, stop begging for 4 finger discounts.
