Boca Juniors president: “We made a very important offer for Riquelme”

Boca Juniors president Jorge Amor Ameal gave a press conference where he denied that the club would give an ultimatum to Juan Roman Riquelme, but in turn said that his duty is “to defend the money of the club”

“We all want Roman to stay,” said the leader in a message to cool the tense situation that had been generated when the player said the proposal “was to laugh.”

Ameal said that Boca “made a very important offer for Riquelme” He said that beyond the logic appreciation of a historical of the club, the reality is also that Claudio Borghi, current coach, ” wants Roman to play for Boca Juniors.”

Moreover, Ameal said there are “no deadlines for Riquelme’s response” and that it is not healthy to think what would happen if Riquelme says no:

“I don’t want to think what would happen if Roman says no. I do not want to answer if I do not know what will happen.”
