Boca Juniors President Riquelme spoke to the press regarding the transfer process of Cristian Medina, who has occupied Fenerbahçe's transfer agenda for a long time.
In his statement to the Argentine media, Riquelme said, 'If a player receives an offer from Europe, our club responds to it. This is the new trend; players are trying to decide for themselves where they want to go.'
Addressing Medina's transfer, Riquelme added, 'If a player has a contract, that contract must be respected. They say, "The player has decided to leave." Because of the media, players think they own the clubs,' he stated.
