O Estado de S. Paulo reports that although it will not be easy to convince Riquelme to part ways with his beloved Boca and leave Argentina, his wage demands will be little bother for the Alviverde. Palmeiras could also expect great sponsor help to finance any deal.
Riquelme has recently turned down moves to both Europe and the Middle-East. However, given Palmeiras recent issues, there is no doubt a signing of this magnitude would do much to appease the restless fans at the Palestra Italia.
