Juan Roman Riquelme has agreed to join Atletico Madrid, according
to reports in Spain.
The Argentinian playmaker is looking to leave current club
Villarreal before the close of the transfer window on Friday.
He spent the second half of last season on loan at Boca Juniors and
has revealed he would play for the club for free, if he could
secure a return.
Riquelme was also interesting Tottenham, but the former Barcelona
schemer looks set to stay in Spain.
Reports suggest Atletico have agreed a deal with Villarreal, with
Riquelme accepting a two-year contract.
An option for a further 12 months has also been included in the
package, although there is yet to be an official comment on the
transfer by either club.
