The red and white team will seek to strengthen itself in some positions where they feel weak and at the same time several players who have an uncertain future have been linked to the club.
One of those footballers are the midfielders James Rodriguez and Juan Fernando Quinteroboth currently concentrated with the Colombian National Team for the Copa América 2024.
James has not had much continuity in Sao Paulo and the arrival of Luis Zubeldía would have sentenced his departure from the club since he has not been taken into account by the Argentine coach while Juanfer would seek to return to Colombia to be close to his family, which is why that have sounded in a club like Junior.

However, this Wednesday, Fuad Char, a shareholder of the Tiburón team, gave the official version about both players and whether the interest is true.
The manager in dialogue with El Heraldo confirmed that there is no communication with either James or Juanfer for a possible arrival.
“No no. Officially, the club has not made any contact with them out of our interest. The team we have is this one that finished the first semester with these four reinforcements that we are looking for, the two midfielders, the right marker and the left forward. “Those are the positions that we and the coach consider that we need to strengthen this team offensively and more or less maintain our offensive quota,” he said.
Finally he was clear and gave his thoughts on all these rumors about great players like James, Juanfer, Cuadrado among others: “Call me, call me and I will give you the official answer.”
