GOAL profiles Colombia's unsung Copa America hero Richard Rios, who is reportedly closing in on a dream move to Manchester United.
The Palmeiras ace shone on the biggest stage for his country, and is now being lined up for a dream move to the Premier League
The 2024 Copa America was a memorable one for Colombia. They reached the final for the first time since their solitary triumph at the tournament in 2021, scoring 12 goals, only to suffer a heartbreaking defeat to reigning world champions Argentina in the final. Former Real Madrid man James Rodriguez received most of the credit for Colombia's unlikely run, and deservedly so, as he recorded seven goal contributions in six games on his way to being named Player of the Tournament. The 33-year-old's resurgence was a great story; he gave Nestor Lorenzo's side their X-factor,But James wouldn't have had the space to thrive in the United States had it not been for Richard Rios' presence just behind him.
