Juan Fernando Quintero is very close to sealing his return to River Plate, a club where he reached the cusp of his career in 2018. As reported from Argentina, the Colombian would already have everything agreed for his return, while resolving his departure from América de Cali, a team that cannot sustain his high salary.
The return of the Paisa steering wheel would be given in the middle of a key moment of his career, after having been champion of the South American Cup with Racing de Avellaneda, a club he also left less than six months ago for personal reasons that brought him closer to Colombia again.
Although he has offers from Millionaires and Junior, Quintero would have decided to return to the club that consecrated him as a continental idol.
His story with River started between 2017 and 2018, when he reached loan from Porto and rapidly won a place in the team. He was figure in the 2018 Copa Libertadores Copa against Boca Juniors, scoring a decisive goal in supplementary time and attending the final 3-1. River bought his pass in 2019, and although the injuries scored that year, he left memorable goals, such as the one that was nominated for the Puskás Award.
In his last step by the team in 2022, Quintero played 29 games, scored five goals and accumulated more than a thousand minutes. If his return is concretized, it would be the third stage of the Colombian at the Núñez club, where he already left an indelible mark on recent history.
The signing is not yet official, but everything indicates that River Plate will have the “10” in its ranks that he knew how to shine on the most important nights in America.
