Riquelme Will Stay With Boca

<p>Boca Juniors will announce tomorrow that their Copa Libertadores hero will remain with them.<br />
<br />
What a difference a week makes.&nbsp; Club president and Buenos Aires mayor-elect Mauricio Macri was mentioning that the return of the player would be &uml;impossible&uml;.&nbsp;&nbsp; Now there is a new tune being played at Casa Amarilla.&nbsp; Boca Juniors will announce in the next few days that their star player will remain with the club until December.<br />
<br />
Villarreal has not received any important offers from any other European club, so the possibility of having Riquelme remain in Argentina becomes higher with each passing day.&nbsp; Boca and Villarreal representatives met in Paris and the prospects seem good for the Argentine international to remain in La Ribera for at least another season.&nbsp; According to Argentine daily El Clar&iacute;n, Riquelme will be with Boca in the next few days.&nbsp; <br />
<br />
Riquelme&acute;s continuity with the club was of high priority as they want to go with the strongest possible squad to Tokyo as they will take part in the World Club Cup.&nbsp; The possibility is strong that Boca could once again face off against AC Milan in the final in a rematch of the 2003 Intercontinental Cup.&nbsp; <br />
<br />
Riquelme arrived in February on loan.&nbsp; During this time helped Boca come in second place in the Clausura, but more importantly lead them to their sixth Copa Libertadores triumph.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />
