On January 15, Beijing time, 28-year-old Colombian international Quintero admitted that he was about to negotiate with River Plate and was expected to reach an agreement in the next few days.
In the 2021 season, Quintero made 21 appearances in the central league, handing over 1 goal and 7 assists. In the latest edition of Colombia's big list, Quintero's name is prominent, and he will represent Colombia in the warm-up match against Honduras.
Speaking in a pre-match press conference, Quintero said: "My situation is clear to everyone and I will negotiate with River Plate in the next few hours. River Plate will be my next stop, and it may be done in the next few days. ”
Before the end of the second phase of the Chinese Super League, reporter Schila broke the news that Quintero would return to river plate, and at that time, Quintero still strongly denied the scandal with River Plate: "I don't know the rumors outside, I only focus on Shenzhen."
In February last year, Quintero transferred from River Plate to Shenzhen for a transfer fee of 5.9 million euros, with an annual salary of 3 million euros and a three-year contract. As the Chinese Super League teams tightened their belts last year, the 5.9 million euro Quintero unexpectedly became the king of the 2021 standard.
With a transfer fee of 5.9 million euros + an annual salary of 3 million euros, the Shenzhen team invested 65 million yuan in Quintero in the first year. Because the Shenzhen team investors also have some financial problems, so now they may let him go for free in order to get rid of The big contract of Quintro, and the Guangzhou team let go of Paulinho, Gaulat, Axon, Fernando and Luo Guofu for free.
According to the Argentine media "Ole" newspaper, Quintero will join River Plate after the World Preliminary Tournament in early February. "Football Newspaper" Li Xuan commented: "Quintero's departure is inevitable, but it is still difficult to leave freely, depending on the negotiation with Shenzu. ”
