Riquelme said on Argentinian television: “I have two years left on my contract with Villarreal, but if Boca come for me now, I have offered their directors to play a third year free, without charging.
“Last Sunday I spoke with the Boca directors to show them my intention to return to the club, but they haven’t given me an answer yet,” he added. “I am a Boca fan and I want to return.”
