Maradona has told Riquelme to play for the 80,000 of San Paolo week in week out, if he is unable to remain at Boca and to win the Intercontinental Cup (vs Milan with them).. Riquelme is valued at 18 million, but Villareal are understood to be willing to accept a lower deal in the region of 10mill, as Riquelme is unsettled and unwilling to continue playing for the 'yellow submarines'.. De Laurentiis and Marino are unlikely to be able to afford his wages, but Maradona has offered himself as a mediator.. All will become clear in the next couple of weeks with regards to Riquelme's future as the after the Copa Libatadores win. In Buenos Aires there have been reports of indirect contact with Juve representatives.. One thing is for sure says Riquelme 'I won't be playing for Villarreal, so I need to find a new club'
