Juan Fernando Quintero “does not return to River Plate”. The bombing in Argentina gave it ‘Ole’ this Wednesday, December 28, and it’s far from fake news on April Fool’s Day. The economy of that country would make it impossible for the Colombian midfielder to sign a new contract with Núñez’s team and there are already options in other countries.
Next Tuesday, January 3, River will travel to the United States to do preseason work, and the Colombian Quintero would not be on the travel list, since his continuity is down, and not due to a lack of will on the part of the club or the player.
Although the figures requested by Juanfer are not far from the reach of River managers, ‘Olé’ explains that there is a context that has a decisive impact on finances: “As Juan Fernando Quintero is already considered a tax resident in Argentina because he has lived in the country for a year, the Central Bank does not allow him to be paid in dollars and there is no vehicle to pay you abroad (that is, a club that owns your pass). Thus, the same money that last year could be paid to the 10 abroad, today cannot be paid in the country”.
That is why offers are beginning to arrive for Juanfer and his agent: Flamengo from Brazil would have the clearest option to sign the ’10’; However, there would be offers from MLS teams in the United States, as is the rumor of options to return to Colombian soccer: Millonarios and Junior, the most interested.
