While his continuity at the club remains shrouded in uncertainty, the Colombian dedicated a post to the fans after the defeat in the Apertura Tournament final.
Juan Fernando Quintero returned to center stage in River. After not being called up for the match against Blooming for the last date of the group stage of the Copa Sudamericana, the Colombian midfielder posted a message on social networks that left open the question about his future at the club.
“Hello Riverplatense family. In good times and in bad times much more. We must be united beyond the sadness we had a few days ago. Football, like life, continues. And we're going to keep fighting,” Quintero wrote, in a phrase that many interpreted as a sign of continuity

In addition to this message, and beyond the versions that circulated in recent days, River assures that there is no personal conflict between the soccer player and the coach. The coaching staff wants a midfield with greater dynamics and intensity and believes that Quintero's characteristics do not fully fit that football idea

At the same time, the Colombian has already been released to join his selection for the 2026 World Cup. Néstor Lorenzo included him in Colombia's final list and the tournament appears as a great opportunity to return to the top international window
