Don’t dream like James Rodríguez, Juan Guillermo Cuadrado or Juan Fernando Quintero. Fuad Char said once again that those kinds of names “are impossible” for Junior right now.
However, the rojiblanco shareholder did not rule out that another experienced player could arrive to reinforce the rojiblanco squad depending on the circumstances and opportunities offered by the transfer market.

Junior maintains the foundation that led them to the League title in December 2023 and that qualified them for the second round of the 2024 Copa Libertadores.
For the three competitions that are coming in the second half of the current year (Liga, Copa Libertadores and Copa Colombia), Junior has hired four new faces: Jhon Navia, Jhon Lerma, Yani Quintero and Andrés Colorado.
The players who left were Walter Pacheco, Yeferson Moreno, Brayan Ceballos, Diego Mendoza, Fabian Cantillo, Omar Albornoz, Johan Bocanegra and Vladimir Hernandez.
