Links with ricardo Rios at palmeiras, I know absolutely nothing about him! Anybody know if he's any good?

Dunno whether it’s a slow day for transfer rumours but reports also about PSG being interested in Sancho and Bruno Fernandes….

Ugarte or Simons swap for Sancho. Job done.

Tim_99, I’ve watched a couple of 3 minute video compilations of him since I first heard of him yesterday and can confirm he’s probably the best CM in the world currently.

Not a clue, although with my skepticism cap on I strongly suspect this is one of those occasions where an agent has thrown our name out to try and drum up interest in their client.
The initial report says that United are "considering making a bid", which is just the kind of line used to justify printing something they know isn't true.
If we think about it logically how would any reporter/ journalist know what the clubs intentions are?
No one at the club with any real power or insight would speak to a journalist or anyone about what the plans are.
Journalist/ reporter's can only accurately say what has happened, or quote someone, not what might happen, or what a club/ businesses intentions are.
If the report said the club had scouted a player, or had a meeting with a club/ agent about a player, then that sounds more accurate. They are reporting what has happened without adding any conjecture to it.
When they simply say "X club is maybe, possibly, considering making a bid for X player" you can pretty much write that off as click bait.
In the case of Richard Rios, he is a player whose recently turned 24, hasn't been seriously linked with any major European clubs previously. He's had a decent Copa America and I expect his agent is trying to drum up interest while the irons hot so to speak.
Expect to see him go to a mid-tier club in Spain or Portugal in a few weeks time.
All that said, with INEOS now pulling the strings there is a slim chance that this might have a slither of truth in it. Yet I highly doubt it.

Ideally they sign sancho and Bruno. That should be a dream scenario imo.

Sancho and Bruno out, Ugarte and Olmo in?
