Riquelme scored 15 goals last season
|
Argentine midfielder Juan Roman Riquelme has signed a four-year contract with Villarreal after two years on loan at the club.
His former club Barcelona will receive �4.6m in a deal agreed earlier in June, which could rise to �6.6m depending on performances in the next two years.
The Spanish champions also retain 25% of the 26-year-old's image rights.
Riquelme was instrumental in helping Villareal to third in the league last season and a Champions League spot.
