During the afternoon of Monday, it was made official the return of Juan Román Riquelme to Boca Juniors. The soccer player gave a press conference in the club and pointed out that he preferred to come back to the club for an entire year instead of five months as he finally agreed.

“If it would have been three days I would have still come”, he clarified immediately. “My intention was to come to the club for an entire year, but that couldn’t happen. Mauricio Macri tried to make the arrangement in the best way. If I had to come for three days I would have still come. I took a very wise decision for myself”, he said.

Riquelme comes from the Villarreal of Spain and he got to the Argentinean entity loaned until June 30th, when he will return to his team the Yellow Submarine.

The Argentinean club decided to negotiate his return after the negotiations to get another player with its characteristics failed.
