Juanfer Quintero could reach River Plate for free after financial problems at Shenzhen FC

Every day the possibility is greater. Juan Fernando Quintero is one step away from returning to Argentine football, specifically to River Plate. The Colombian midfielder could leave Shenzhen FC of the Chinese Super League for free and wear the shirt of the ‘millionaires’.

Although Juanfer has been showing signs of his return through his social networks, the main reasons why it would be easier for him to retire is the difficult time his soccer team is going through.

Shenzhen has been having a bad season, they even fired their coach Carlos Granero in the absence of a game, leaving Zhang Xiaorui in charge, which implies that Quintero does not feel comfortable in the team and is looking for more competitiveness.

On the other hand, according to the journalist Hernán Castillo, a great investor in the team in which Juanfer plays, the real estate company Kaisa is close to falling into bankruptcy, so the chances of them continuing to enter money into the club are less and less. .

For this reason, the Chinese club would facilitate the departure of various figures who stand out, one of them being the Colombian, who could even arrive for free. Nothing is confirmed, but Quintero will return to Colombia to rest and join the concentration of his team with a view to the friendly against Honduras on January 16 in the United States.

It should be noted that various Argentine media assure that the 28-year-old player would sign this January 6, for a total of three seasons. After Marcelo Gallardo stayed on the bench, the ‘Millo’ has proposed to go with everything for that Copa Libertadores that has eluded him since the 2018 season, the year in which ‘Juanfer’ himself collaborated with a goal in the victory over Boca Juniors (3-1) in the remembered final in Madrid.
