In recent days, the economic issues that arose in Colombia with Juan Fernando Quintero's contract have resulted in the playmaker no longer wearing América de Cali's colors. In this scenario, River has once again emerged as a possible destination for the talented Colombian, who could begin his third spell with La Banda.
Quintero has also made his position clear and has shown openness to resuming negotiations with the Núñez club, after publicly referring to his previous commitment with Racing. "It was an agreement, but at that time, in December when I left Racing, I told President Diego Milito, with whom I have a very good relationship, that he could rest assured I wasn't going to join River at that moment." "Six months have already passed," he added, suggesting that promise is no longer an obstacle.
Meanwhile, Marcelo Gallardo, who keeps a close relationship with Quintero, has also given the green light for talks to move forward. In this context, according to César Luis Merlo, the Millonario's head coach approved the deal and the club has already offered the Colombian a contract for 18 months that would begin in this transfer window.
