Riquelme could move to Corinthians

The Future of Juan Roman Riquelme seems to be in Brazil: Corinthians returns to the charge to gain the services of midfielder, 31, and present the set xeneize loose, and the high cost of the player's contract could tip the balance in favor of all Paulista.

Riquelme was bought last year for Boca, who was forced to pay U $ S 15,000,000 for acquisition of the entire pass. For now, joining only a title has yielded local (Apertura 2008) and the Roman level has been uneven. On top of the right foot injury has left him out for the remainder of the tournament, where Boca has a gray and this is far from the fighting. This poor campaign, endangers the participation in the upcoming Copa Libertadores, a tournament that Riquelme valued more than any other.

The economic crisis that affects almost every Argentine football clubs but adds an item to the question: El Torero is the highest-paid player in the local environment and its contract expires at year's end. If leaders fail to convince the Boca player down its claims, it would be free to share, and could fix joining the Corinthians, which searches its centenary win the Libertadores for the first time in its history. Will we see Riquelme play Ronaldo's next? With those two, Matias De Federico and Roberto Carlos might Paulista table would create a genuine great team.
