Riquelme, who played a key role, as Argentina won their opening two 2010 World Cup qualifiers, has not made a single appearance for Villarreal in Spain’s La Liga this season, after a conflict with the club's Chilean manager Manuel Pellegrini.

The Argentine international is desperately looking for a new club, and is likely to have his wish come true when the transfer window re-opens.

He has recently been chased by the likes of Atletico Madrid, Real Betis, Manchester City, and former club Boca Juniors, but according to the journal there’s a good possibility that he will join AC Milan.

Milan, who are rumoured to have offered Villarreal $8 million for the midfielder, have not been in top form this season, and have been looking for a player with his rare qualities.

Despite not having played any club football this season, Riquelme was still called up to the Argentine national team squad by team manager Alfio Basile for the World Cup qualifiers.

Riquelme once again proved his undisputed class, scoring two outstanding free-kicks as Argentina defeated Chile 2-0 in Buenos Aires on Saturday.

The midfielder then set-up Argentina’s first goal as they beat Venezuela by the same score-line in Maracaibo on Tuesday.
