Juan Roman Riquelme still does not know where his future lies.

The Argentine has sparkled during a two-year loan with Villarreal and now a host of clubs are ready to make Barcelona an offer for his services.

The midfield schemer will play his final game for the Yellow Submarines against Levante and victory will book them a place in the UEFA Champions League.

However, he is suffering from a knee injury so may not be able to start but he hopes to be involved at some point.

"It is very possible that this will be my last game at Villarreal," he said.

"I hope to have the luck to play at least a few minutes so I can say goodbye to the supporters from the pitch.

"I can only say what I have been saying since a year ago. I belong to Barcelona so I have to return next month to that team," he continued.

"I am very thankful to Villarreal because they have trusted in me and they have given me the chance to play football and I have enjoyed two wonderful years.

"Now I have to wait to see what happens and if on June 30 I am told that I have to go I will have to accept that decision.

"Barcelona hasn't said to me yet if they want me or not

"Anyway I prefer not to think about anything because I don't know where I will continue playing."
