Porto and Roma are currently ahead of Inter Milan in a three-way race to sign highly-rated Palmeiras star Richard Rios.
According to Sportitalia via FCInterNews, Porto are the only team to have submitted an official bid for the 25-year-old.
Indeed, the Dragons had tried to beat the competition by presenting Palmeiras with a €17 million offer.
However, their proposal fell short of the Brazilian club’s request, with Verdao holding out for their €25m valuation.
Inter Milan Behind Porto & Roma in Race for Richard Rios
In addition to Porto, Roma have shown a strong interest in Richard Rios.
New boss Gian Piero Gasperini has instructed the club to sign the Colombian after taking charge this summer.
Indeed, Gasperini views Rios as an upgrade on his current midfield options and wants the deal closed quickly.
Therefore, Inter are at risk of missing out on the ex-Flamengo star’s signature.
Rios doesn’t top Inter’s wishlist. However, he’s among the first alternatives to the club’s pursuit of Ederson.
Time has now become a factor, with Roma set to intensify talks for Rios.
The only ones who are untouchable to sell from old team are Barella, Bastoni and Lautaro (Pio and Carboni as highest prospects also). The rest of team are all sellable if a good bid comes. None of our gks are world class, so each can be replaced. Centrebacks are all up for sale for reasonable amounts, only for Bisseck and Augusto i would require 40+ mil each. Before winter i would’ve said Dimarco and Dumfries shouldn’t be sold, but now, Dimarco after horrible half-season and Dumfries insistence on low release clause, both are replacable. Midfielders- i would sell out everyone, Miki old, Hakan and Zielinski injury prone, Asllani not good enough, Frattesi limited player, only can play as AM. Strikers- only Taremi left to get rid of, as for Thuram not that good second half-season, had his moments, but not irreplacable
