With all the talk surrounding fellow Argentine and current Atletico Madrid forward Sergio “Kun” Aguero heading to Manchester United, Atletico head coach Javier Aguirre has revealed his interest in one of the best / most underrated players on the face of this planet, Juan Roman Riquelme.

After getting royally shafted during his last stop in Spain with Villareal and Chilean head coach Manuel Pellrgrini, Riquelme has been killing it with his Boca Juniors, winning the 2007 Copa Libertadores (and the MVP of the tournament) on loan before making the move final in January of this year.

Since the transfer window has opened, Atletico has been making some impressive moves ahead of their 2008/09 Champions League campaign.  So why not try and sign a true playmaker that already has the International pedigree, can create passes, space and opportunities that very few have the ability to do?
