FIFA Reject Boca's Riquelme Request

Boca Juniors have failed in their bid for special dispensation to sign Juan Román Riquelme in time for him to play in the FIFA Club World Cup next month.

The Xeneizes outfit wanted to register the midfielder with world football's governing body and had hoped to be allowed to sign before the start of the winter transfer window.

FIFA have rejected that request, but Boca have not given up and have sent a delegation to Zurich to make a new case and have given a squad list for the tournament with a player less and the number ten shirt vacant.

While the Argentinian club believe that a deal to sign Riquelme could be reached by next Monday, the player himself may hold up any move.

The 29-year-old claims that he will not be going anywhere unless Villarreal owe him €6m and he has now compounded his differences with the club by stating that he wants more.

Riquelme has added the €3m that he would be paid if he were to see out his contract at El Madrigal, that runs until 2009.

Despite Boca's keen interest, several Italian clubs have also made enquiries and Argentina may not be his next port of call if a better offer comes from Serie A.

Riquelme agrees move to Boca Juniors


MADRID (AFP) - Villarreal's Argentina international midfielder Juan Roman Riquelme has agreed a nine-million-euro deal with his club to move to Boca Juniors in his home country, the Spanish first division club said on Monday.

The two clubs had initially agreed a deal on Wednesday, but the player himself had not ratified it.

The transfer fee is expected to be about nine million euros, according to sources close to the Argentinian club and cited by the Telam agency.

A statement on Villarreal's club internet site said: "After Riquelme and Villarreal reached agreement, Villarreal managing director Jose Manuel Llaneza and financial director Miguel Perez will today (Monday) go to Argentina to negotiate a transfer with Boca Juniors."

Italian champions Inter Milan and Juventus had also reportedly been interested in signing playmaker Riquelme in the January transfer window.
