According to Dimazio, Rios will join Benfica soon.

Roma's recruitment target Rios is about to join Benfica. Benfica has reached an agreement with Palmeiras. The two clubs are currently exchanging documents to complete the transfer procedures.

The Colombian midfielder who performed well in the Club World Cup chose Benfica as his first stop in his European career. The key to the transaction was that Benfica sports director Bras himself flew to Brazil and finalized the transfer at the last moment.

The transaction is now only officially announced and is expected to be released within a few days after the player signs the contract. Rios will arrive in Lisbon next week for a medical examination and officially start his trip to Benfica.
