While Racing prepares Thursday’s match against Lanús, Gustavo Costas is also attentive to what happens with Juanfer Quintero. The Colombian midfielder is in the United States with his team waiting to be able to get on the final list to be in the Copa América. His future is still unknown. Since he left Avellaneda and did not play against Riestra he has not given any signs, either for better or for worse, about what will happen to his future. The former River has not uploaded any message to his social networks that does not have to do with the Colombian team.
Costas spoke about the future of Juanfer Quintero in Racing
In this context, the Racing coach spoke again about Juanfer Quintero’s situation. Costas was optimistic, although without giving details or having too much information about it. “I talk to Juanfer every day. I want him to stay. When I call him I tell him that I wait for him. He knows. We have a very good dialogue with Juanfer, from the first day I called him we always get along very well. He has a family problem “I think he’s going to be with us. He has to be with us.” The DT said in an interview he gave to TNT Sports.
In the last few hours, a Colombian media reported that Juanfer Quintero had contacted Junior’s management to leave Racing and return to Colombia. It didn’t go beyond a rumor. Before, they had also stated that he had already arranged everything with Atlético Nacional. Another thing that for now remained in nothing. The truth is that the offensive midfielder is focused on the Copa América and only when it ends will his future begin to be defined. He has a contract with the Academy and the team that wants him must buy his pass. It is not a case similar to that of Roger Martínez, who would be free at the end of the year.
He played 20 minutes against the United States
From what could be seen in Colombia’s last game, Juanfer Quintero seems to be better than since he left Racing. He has been working with his national team and very hard, since he wants to get into the Copa América. Against the United States he played 20 minutes. The left-hander started on the substitute bench but when he came on he did his thing.
With the 20 on his back and enormous enthusiasm, he did not waste his opportunity. At 25 minutes into the second half, with the game 2-1 in favor but with the United States dominating the ball, the coach sent him onto the field. None other than James Rodríguez, the other driver. And from there the team began to improve and find more spaces. The third goal arrived, the one of tranquility, and then ended up being decisive in the last two goals for a final 5-1. Something that brings Juanfer Quintero closer to the Copa América and that is news that is closely followed in Racing.
