Benfica considers Richard Ríos departure, eyes Gustavo Puerta
Benfica is reportedly considering the departure of Colombian midfielder Richard Ríos. As the Portuguese club evaluates its squad, it has identified fellow Colombian Gustavo Puerta as a potential replacement in the midfield.
Gustavo Puerta currently plays for Racing de Santander in Spain, having previously been part of Bayer Leverkusen. His market value is estimated to be around 20 million euros following strong performances, including his recent involvement with the Colombian national team. While Racing de Santander aims to retain him, interest from several major European clubs in Italy and England has complicated the situation.
Simultaneously, Richard Ríos is being linked to potential moves to other major European leagues, with reports specifically mentioning interest from Newcastle United.
