Argentinian national team and club attacking midfielder Juan Roman Riquelme confirmed that the club would like to see him in their team and offered a substantial amount of money to the Spaniards.
It is believed that the most famous Spanish "Villarreal" team star J. Riquelme is a target for Milan's "Inter", but recently, preparing for the quarterfinals against the tournament host Germany, he expressed interest in "Man Utd".
This summer, the South American midfielder was one of the biggest stars at the World Cup in Germany and is considered one of the best midfielders in the world.
"I feel very comfortable at "Villarreal". If the club decides to sell me, then I will think about my future, but it depends on the club. "Inter"? I am happy that such a club is interested in me, but now I play in a city that has given me love and where I gained recognition in the European football world, which is very important to me," said the 28-year-old player on "Radio La Red".
"The club is growing. Speaking of offers, I know that "Man Utd" made a certain offer, I just don't know how many millions, but "Villarreal" turned down, saying that I am not for sale," the Argentine insisted.
"Man Utd" left the legendary Irishman Roy Keane club last season. The manager Sir Alex Ferguson is determined to buy a new midfielder and this summer hopes to find a player who would strengthen the team's midfield.
J.R. Riquelme with "Villarreal" club last season reached the UEFA Champions League, where they played in the same group as "Man Utd". "The Yellow Submarine" managed to make it to the semi-finals of the tournament, but there they lost to the "Arsenal" club. The most realistic opportunity to snatch victory for his team came in the match in extra time when Argentine himself had a chance from the penalty spot, but his shot from eleven meters was saved by German goalkeeper Jens Lehmann, who "killed" the Argentinian national team during the penalty shootout in the World Cup quarterfinals.
