In August 2024, Antena 2 Deportes reported that PSG submitted a €20 million bid for the 24-year-old, who had also drawn interest from AC Milan and Manchester United. However, despite PSG's efforts, UOL revealed that Palmeiras' president made it clear Ríos wasn't for sale—even with the Ligue 1 side pushing their offer to €20 million.
Does PSG have no interest in Palmeiras' star?A recent report revealed that PSG are in discussions with Palmeiras for their midfielder. Luis Campos has reportedly given the green light, and Luis Enrique is said to want the player to bolster his midfield. The deal could total around €30 million.

However, journalist Arthur Perrot quickly dismissed the rumor. On his X account, the PSG specialist for RMC Sport responded to a tweet citing South American press reports with two red Xs, indicating the claim is false. It therefore appears PSG are not pursuing Ríos.
Back in February, CaughtOffside reported that West Ham, Nottingham Forest, and Tottenham were all closely monitoring the progress of the Colombian midfielder, with plans to potentially make a move this summer.
However, none of the three Premier League clubs are willing to pay his €100 million release clause. Tottenham were especially keen during the January window, but talks never moved past the early stages as Palmeiras refused to budge on their asking price.

🤨 Villain of the night? Cardona with a tie to forget
Atlético Nacional fell to São Paulo in the Copa Libertadores round of 16 on Colombian team deserved more during the 180 minutes of the tie, but mistakes did not help the Verdolagas. After the score was tied, the momentum belonged to the Colombians, who fought and saw the comeback on the horizon. But Cardona lost his head and celebrated excessively, being cautioned for the second time and leaving his team with one man less. Without a doubt, the tie would have had a different ending with a more focused Cardona in the important moments. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

📹 Flu beat América de Cali again, reach Copa Sul-Americana quarter-finals
In the Maracanã, Fluminense defeated América de Cali 2-0 on Tuesday (19), in the second leg of the CONMEBOL South American round of 16. As they also defeated the Colombians in the first leg, 2-1, Tricolor Carioca secured a spot in the quarterfinals of the continental tournament, after six years, with an aggregate score of 4-1. From the beginning of the game, Fluminense showed that they didn't want to give any space for an upset. Thus, after Martinelli and Samuel Xavier's shots went wide, Serna scored the opening goal. Hércules made a "à la Gerson - the Golden Left Foot" pass behind the defense, and "Cristiano Sernaldo" entered the area to score in the corner. This was Serna's eighth goal with the tricolor jersey in the 2025 season. In the first half's stoppage time, Lima almost scored on a free kick that was deflected by the wall. However, after the break, it didn't take long for Tricolor to extend their lead. Canobbio stole the ball on the right side, entered the area, and rolled the ball to Martinelli, who dribbled past the defender and shot!💪 Tricolor machine With the win against América de Cali, Fluminense reached their seventh consecutive game without a loss in the 2025 season (five wins and two draws).
