Beşiktaş continues its efforts to strengthen its midfield with Benfica player Richard Rios. It is stated that the Black and Whites want to add the Colombian footballer to their squad on loan with an option to buy.
According to a report in Sporx, a rival from England has emerged for Beşiktaş in the transfer process. It was stated that Hull City, owned by Acun Ilıcalı, has intervened with a permanent transfer option, which differs from the loan formula for Rios.
It is assessed that this move by Hull City could complicate Beşiktaş's negotiation process with Benfica. It was noted that the Black and White management continues its contacts regarding the player.
Richard Rios played in 45 matches for Benfica last season and contributed 6 assists to his team.
