Palmeiras reject Roma, Wolverhampton and Nottingham Forest offers for Rios

Roma, Wolverhampton and Nottingham Forest sent an offer each on Sunday, but their proposals, all below €30m, were rejected by Palmeiras.

Wolves offered €25m and Forest’s bid was set just a bit higher at €26m.

Palmeiras, however, have set Rios’ price tag at €30m as a fixed fee plus add-ons.

Roma had promised a €25m offer plus €5m add-ons, but still not enough to match Palmeiras’ demands.

Rios among Roma’s priorities in midfield

Rios has emerged as one of Roma’s priority targets to strengthen their midfield in the 2025-26 campaign.

The Giallorossi started the pre-season on Sunday, July 13, 2025, under the guidance of their new tactician.

Their first Serie A game of the season is against Bologna at the Stadio Olimpico on August 23.
