Juan Roman Riquelme's agent claims Tottenham Hotspur have made an
offer for the Argentinian playmaker.
Villarreal are willing to sell Riquelme after the player spent the
second half of last season back in Argentina with Boca
Juniors.
There has been interest from several clubs across Europe, but
reports suggest Spurs have lodged a 15million euros (£10million)
bid.
Riquelme's representative Marcos Franchi feels Villarreal should
accept the offer from Tottenham, who have already spent heavily
over the summer.
The Spanish side's president Fernando Roig is considering the bid
and Franchi is waiting for an official response from Riquelme's
current club.
"Despite that we haven't been told anything officially, we know
that Villarreal has received a very important offer from Tottenham
and that the president Fernando Roig is analysing it," Franchi told
Radio La Red.
"They have to make a decision before August 31, otherwise Riquelme
will stay at Villarreal as there aren't any other serious
negotiations.
"If nothing new appears I think that they should accept this offer
as it is good for the club and the player.
"I don't think that Riquelme would be useful for Villarreal without
playing.
"It would be much more useful for them to sell him so they recover
what they invested in him when they bought him."
