While Juan Fernando Quintero’s head is currently set on the Colombian National Team, it seems that his name is in the offices of River Plate, where there is the hope of bringing the ’10’ back.
And, as reported by the Argentine journalist, Hugo Balasson, the Antioquian intends to return to the ‘millionaire’ team. But be careful! Because the desire is mutual: “Juan Fernando Quintero wants to return to River River, he knows it and he sounded out the intention.”
However, the information does not stop there, because in ‘TyC Sports’ they dedicated a complete report to the Colombian, this Tuesday, clarifying the panorama about the real and truthful nature of this movement, which would mean the third cycle of ‘Juanfer’ in the ‘ cross band’.
“Both Martín Demichelis and the entire board of directors have their minds set on the transfer market to strengthen themselves in the best way for the duel against Talleres for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. The bomb went off in the last hours: Demichelis called Juan Fernando Quintero!” cited the Argentine portal, stating that there was already contact between both parties.

What is Quintero’s contractual situation with Racing?
Although River Plate’s interest and intention to sign the Antioquian is clear, it is also true that the footballer currently has a valid contract with the ‘Academia’, a club with which they will have to enter into negotiations for the transfer of the ’10’.
As revealed in ‘TyC Sports’, Juan Fernando Quintero has a contract until December 2025. Furthermore, the current coach of the Avellaneda team does not want the ‘coffee grower’ to leave.
On previous occasions, Gustavo Costas has already spoken to the media about the possibility of losing ‘Juanfer’, emphasizing that his wish is for him to remain, since he is important for the team’s main scheme.
It is important to emphasize that, at the time, in order to sign the Colombian star, Racing paid more than three million dollars for the transfer. Which means that, if Quintero is let go, the Avellaneda team will not be willing to receive a figure less than that invested in the player.
On the other hand, it is worth noting that in previous days Fabio Poveda, journalist from ‘Blog Deportivo’ on ‘Blu Radio’, expressly stated that the Antioquian had offered to play for Junior in this second semester. If this is real, the ‘shark’ team must start moving its chips to not miss this great possibility of incorporating ‘Juanfer’ again.
