Juan Fernando Quintero became a new Junior de Barranquilla player and will also be the best paid player in the BetPlay League, but for this he had to make great sacrifices in terms of salary. Initially, he was looking for his financial claims to be fulfilled by the Barranquillero team, but his high value began to affect the signing. In fact, on Thursday, January 12, uncertainty was sown at night when the news appeared on social networks that the negotiations had fallen.
Was it all part of a plan by the Chars and Juan Fernando Quintero? Well, that was what the former River Plate referred to when his arrival at the Atlantic team was finally made official. A plan that little or nothing liked the journalists or the fans.
Overnight, Juan Fernando Quintero gave the good news at Junior de Barranquilla, becoming a new player for the institution. After exchanging winks between the creative midfielder and the club on social networks, there was too much uncertainty and unknowns with the passage of Juan Fernando who could end up in Brazil or the United States. However, all efforts were made for the Colombian to return to his country with the interest of the juniors and his team, Deportivo Independiente Medellín.
Carlos Antonio Vélez strongly criticized him for the uncertainty that was sown and that, as if nothing, after a day when his arrival was denied, the club and the player agreed to his arrival, probably with a considerable drop in salary compared to what Juan Fernando expected. Quintero. The criticism was swift and the journalist from Manizale exchanged messages with the man from Antioquia on Twitter and ended up writing, “Perfect, Juanfer, but do you know what would have been nice? That, given Junior’s offer, you would have said yes at once without expecting that he could go outside. If it was not for money, which is within his every right to look for it, there was no reason to wait for them to say no there. Anyway, welcome and good luck”. A money issue that complicated his relationship? In short, several reasons, but that was as far as the conversation ended, since Quintero did not answer him.
After his arrival at Junior it became clear that in the same way, Juan Fernando Quintero had to make an economic effort because the club could not pay his financial claims. Carlos Antonio Vélez reappeared on social networks, saying that he was going to tell the reality and the truth in the brand new incorporation of the Antioquia midfielder who was also interested in Deportivo Independiente Medellín.
Very early on the morning of Saturday, January 14, Carlos Antonio Vélez sent a message that demonstrated the interest of the ‘Poderoso de la Montaña’ cadre and even the plan they were running in Medellín with the help of the Mayor’s Office, “the true story of JFQ and his return to the country… he will not earn what was said and said. He lowered his claims and settled for a manageable salary… “he put himself in earthly figures”, a leader of Junior and a Bonus Track told me: the Medellín mayor’s office sought to pay it for the DIM”. Thus, based on the above, he effectively had to make an economic sacrifice to close his relationship with Junior de Barranquilla, and there was also interest from other Colombian clubs.
