Boca unsure over Riquelme future
Boca president Mauricio Macri admits he has no idea where playmaker
Juan Roman Riquelme will be playing his football next season.The
28-year-old is on loan at Boca from Spanish side Villarreal until
June 30, but Macri has already confirmed that the club will not be
keeping him due to a lack of funds.
"It is impossible for Roman to continue at Boca. Saying something
different would be lying to the people," Macri told Argentinian
radio network Latina.
Riquelme returned to Boca after a fall-out with Villarreal coach
Manuel Pellegrini, and Macri admits he is unsure of the player's
future.
"That is an issue between Villarreal and Roman," he added.
Despite his imminent departure from La Bombonera, Riquelme has been
in fine form for Boca and helped the team qualify to the Copa
Libertadores final.
"Riquelme is the best playmaker that Boca had in the last decades,"
concluded Macri.
