The manager of Boca Juniors, Riquelme, personally contacted Leandro Paredes in an attempt to lure him to Argentina.
The Roma midfielder continues being linked with his former club as the January winds to a close.
According to Il Messaggero, Boca haven’t given up in their pursuit of Paredes with Riquelme playing a key role in recent days.
The Argentine coach personally reached out to the player to discuss the possibility of a transfer.
The offer, however, is not yet considered tempting enough.
In the meantime, Claudio Ranieri has tried to silence the rumours surrounding Paredes as he hopes to keep the midfielder under his orders at least until the end of the season.
