Ricardo Sebastián Riquelme (born 28 September 1996) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder.[2]
Riquelme's career started with Argentinos Juniors in 2008.[3] He was promoted in their senior squad in 2016, making his bow in a 4–0 defeat to Unión Santa Fe on 6 May; he had previously been an unused substitute for matches with Aldosivi and Vélez Sarsfield.[2] [4] [5] In 2017, Riquelme joined Danubio of the Uruguayan Primera División on loan.[6] However, he returned months later without featuring.[7] On 9 June 2018, Primera B de Chile side Unión San Felipe loaned Riquelme.[8] [9] [10] After his debut on 21 July versus Deportes Puerto Montt, he scored his first goal in a win away to Deportes Copiapó on 30 September.[2]
On 11 January 2019, Riquelme terminated his contract with Argentinos Juniors.[11] He soon joined Barracas Central of Primera B Nacional, prior to departing in January 2020 to Spanish Tercera División outfit El Ejido.[12] [13] He debuted on 23 February during a four-goal victory against Atlético Porcuna, before making another appearance two weeks later versus Ciudad de Torredonjimeno; the season was soon stopped due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] In August 2020, Riquelme made a return to Uruguay as he penned terms with Segunda División team Atenas.[14] Seventeen appearances followed in the 2020 campaign.[2]
In February 2021, Riquelme went back to his homeland to have trials with Primera Nacional duo Almirante Brown and Atlanta.[15] [16] He was given a contract by the latter on 27 February.[17] Later that year, he had a spell at San Telmo, before he in mid-February 2022 joined Primera B Metropolitana side Acassuso.[18] However, he only managed to play one game before it was confirmed on 5 April 2022, that he have had his contract terminated by mutual agreement, given the lack of minutes.[19]
