According to Give Me Sport, Manchester United want to sign the player this summer, and he is valued at £20 million. The Red Devils have been linked with Ederson from Atalanta as well, but it seems that they have chosen to pursue Rios instead.
The Colombian has shown his quality in recent seasons, and there is no doubt that he has the quality to succeed in the Premier League. Manchester United need more quality in the middle of the park, and Rios would be a solid acquisition for them. Meanwhile, they are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them will be quite attractive for the players as well.
Meanwhile, the £20 million asking price seems quite reasonable for a player of his potential, and he could easily justify the investment in future. It remains to be seen whether Manchester United follow up on their interest with an official offer to sign the player from Palmeiras.
Manchester United need to get rid of their fringe players and sign quality players this summer. Improving the midfield will be one of their priorities. Players like Casemiro have not been able to live up to the expectations. Rios could prove to be an upgrade on the Brazilian.
Meanwhile, Manchester United were heavily linked with a move for the Atalanta midfielder as well. He has been outstanding for the Italian outfit, but it seems that Manchester United have chosen to move for Rios instead. It remains to be seen whether they can get a deal across the line.
Manchester United have not been a threat in recent seasons, and they will look to get back to the top of English football once again. They need to sign quality players, and the South American would be a good start.
They should look to improve their attacking unit in the summer as well, and they are reportedly keeping tabs on the Wolves star Matheus Cunha.
