Juan Fernando Quintero discusses his River Plate future | OneFootball

At a sponsor event, Juan Fernando Quintero took the opportunity to discuss his year in Argentina, what next season holds, and his burning desire to remain at River Plate.

Quintero will forever be a River Plate legend after scoring the winning goal in the 109th minute of the Copa Libertadores final over rivals Boca Juniors.

“It was a year of great glory and learning and I finished it in the best way. It was a very difficult year, I worked extremely hard, and in the end, we were rewarded with the [Copa Libertadores] championship,” he began.

“I’m still not thinking about what my future holds. My day to day is River, I will show up on 5 January and we’ll see what happens.

“I am enjoying my family, my holidays, and that is what matters.”

Quintero also discussed the rumors that he could be sold to a team in China.

“I am very happy at River and am enjoying what I experienced, what I dreamed, and what I prepared for.

“The issue of China or whatever happens, I do not care. I do not focus on that. I have people on my side who take care of that.

“I will have the opportunity to talk to the president of River and the manager and they know my situation.

“I will arrive on the 5th in Argentina, to meet with them, and make it the best for everyone.

“I can not deny that China is a possibility, but in my head, for now, it is not.

“I have a lot of hope in what is going to happen with my career at River or wherever I’m playing.”

River Plate are back in action on 19 January when they face unbeaten Defensa y Justicia.
