Walter Samuel has stated that he hopes Juan Román Riquelme will leave Villarreal join him at Inter when the winter transfer window opens in January.
The Argentinian defender wants his compatriot to come to Serie A after reports stated that Roberto Mancini sees the playmaker as the ideal replacement for the injured Luis Figo.
Riquelme has been told by his current club that he will be able to start talking to other club in December in a bid to finally move away from El Madrigal.
With several clubs said to be interest in his signature, Samuel has called Riquelme to try his luck at Inter where he is sure to be a success.
“They say that Riquelme is slow and it makes me laugh,” he said.
“With him the ball goes so quickly. He is a great attacking midfielder and the kind of player you can rely on. I’d love to have him here at Inter.”
Riquelme has not played for Villarreal since returning from the Copa América in the summer, having spent the second half of last season out on loan with Boca Juniors.
The spat between the player and the Yellow Submarine's president, Fernando Roig, has not been diffused and he has been told that he can leave.
