The Chinese Super League suffered a cold winter, salary restrictions and the impact of the epidemic, more and more foreign aid chose to flee the Chinese Super League. The once star-studded Chinese Super League began to bleak. Even Oscar in Shanghai Harbor has spread a scandal with Barca, if it were not for Barça's intention to empty gloves white wolves, Oscar may have bid farewell to the Chinese Super League from now on. Now Oscar is staying, but another big-name foreign player who has played in the World Cup, Colombia international Quintero is leaving!
On February 11, Beijing time, Shenzhen Club officially announced: Quintero went to River Plate Athletic Club on loan for a loan period of up to December 31 this year. As a Colombian international, Quintero once surprised the world with a free kick at the World Cup. In the 2021 season, he joined Shenzhen with a transfer fee of 5.9 million euros from River Plate Athletics, becoming the lowest transfer fee in the Chinese Super League in the past 10 years. Since joining Shenzhen, he has made 21 appearances for Shenzhen, scoring 1 goal and assisting 7 times, becoming the commander of the Shenzhen midfield.
However, after only one year of joining the Shenzhen team, he chose to return to River Plate Athletics. Moreover, the relevant websites show that it is free to rent the return to riverbed. Although the reason given by the Shenzhen team is that Quintero wants to help Colombia reach the World Cup finals, it is more convenient for him to play for the national team by joining River Plate on loan. However, in fact, before the end of the 2021 season, there were foreign media reports that Quintero was seeking to terminate his contract with Shenzhen. Then, he transferred to River Plate on a free basis. If the Shenzhen team does not agree, then Quintero will first rent Home Gate River Plate for 1 year.
At present, it seems that Quintero has been on loan for 1 year, and it can only be said that the termination negotiations between Kintro and Shenzhen are not smooth. However, this does not mean that Quintero will return to the Chinese Super League after the end of the loan. After all, the current Chinese Super League can be described as entering the "Ice Age", and no one wants to waste their years here. If, in the new season, the Chinese Super League can get back on track and restore the home-and-away system. And the Shenzhen team stock reform is successful, then Quintero may return again. Otherwise, this walk may be a complete farewell between the Colombian international and the Chinese Super League.
Watching the big-name foreign aides leave one by one, is the Chinese Super League really going to change back to the depressed era of 10 years ago, which no one cares about? It is said that youth training is the root of the revitalization of Chinese football, but in fact, the professional league is also the basis for maintaining Chinese football. Without the hot market of professional leagues, youth training will only become more and more difficult. As a fan, I really hope that the Chinese Super League can get back on track soon.
