Corinthians confirms interest in Riquelme

BRASILIA, Sept. 17 (Xinhua) -- The president of Brazil's Corinthians, Andres Sanchez, confirmed on Thursday that his club is interested in signing Argentine midfielder Juan Roman Riquelme next season, but admitted that the recruitment does not depend directly on the club.

"Corinthians is not negotiating directly with Riquelme, but we're with open arms if we can have him," said Sanchez.

The Corinthians, which earlier this year signed Brazilian international striker Ronaldo and last month the Argentine midfielder Matias Defederico, intends to mount a team of stars to try to win the Copa Libertadores next year.

The club secured a place in the Libertadores next year after winning the Brazilian Cup.
