COThe article discusses the reaction of Colombian football journalist Carlos Antonio Vélez to the transfer of Richard Ríos to Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia on loan from Benfica. Vélez criticized the current state of the market for Colombian national team players, calling it 'involución absoluta' (absolute regression), noting that few have managed to join elite clubs. He highlighted that only Jhon Luicúmi has achieved significant success, moving to Juventus. Other Colombian players mentioned include Daniel Muñoz, Johan Mojica, and Gustavo Puerta, who moved to Nottingham Forest and Olympiacos. The transfer details were confirmed by journalist Fabrizio Romano, stating it is a loan deal until June 2027 with most of Ríos’ salary covered but no buyout clause. Ríos previously played under José Mourinho at Benfica but now faces competition for his place in the Colombian national team due to rising stars like Puerta.
