🚨 The king returns: River Plate confirm Quintero signing | OneFootball

River Plate confirmed today the news that the entire Millionaire people were waiting for: Juan Fernando Quintero returns to the Monumental for his third stint.

The Colombian midfielder signed a contract for three and a half years, until December 2028, after being released from América de Cali.

At 32 years old, Juanfer returns to Argentina to bring magic to Marcelo Gallardo's midfield, as well as his great experience accumulated after his time in Europe (Pescara, Porto, Rennes), his stint in China, and his recent spells at Racing Club and América de Cali.

🏆Do you remember 2018?

His emotional impact on River is undeniable. The scorer of the decisive goal in the 2018 Libertadores final against Boca Juniors at the Santiago Bernabéu, Juanfer is still considered an idol by the fans.

Now, with the number 10 jersey on his back (given up by Lanzini), he returns with the mission of reediting that display of technical quality and temperament in big games that he always had.

With their second signing, River Plate is aiming for an ambitious horizon to compete for both the local tournament and the 2025 Copa Libertadores.
