“The return of the king”: River’s publication before announcing ‘Juanfer’ Quintero | VIDEO

The signing of Juan Fernando Quintero by River Plate is imminent. Both sides have hinted that there will be a second story. And in the absence of the official announcement, the Argentine club made a striking publication that does nothing more than generate more desire to fill the fans of the ‘Millionaire’.

Through River’s official channels on social networks, a special audiovisual material was shared with the hashtag #ElRetornodelRey and with the image of the Copa Libertadores trophy that ‘Millo’ won in 2018 at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, with ‘Juanfer ‘ as one of the star figures.

“We know about the current situation, I am now in the Colombian national team. Soon we will close everything that is with River, in the next few hours, and I want everyone to know it, because it is the club that I want and I am going to give it my all”, Quintero pointed out at a press conference, a few days ago, from the concentration with the ‘Tricolor’.

In Argentina, they await Quintero’s arrival soon so that he can undergo the corresponding medical exams and join River Plate’s pre-season work, where he will return to work alongside coach Marcelo Gallardo and where he will reunite with old friends.

“I thank all the clubs that were interested in me for their interest, but my intention from the beginning was always to return to River and I hope to be able to close everything once my stay with the national team is over to go to the team’s presentation”, Quintero added that time.

Quintero, who left River in 2020 amid much controversy to migrate to Chinese football (Shenzhen FC), is fondly remembered by fans of the Argentine club. For them, the great goal he scored against Boca Juniors in the final of the Copa Libertadores four years ago is indelible.
