Juan Fernando Quintero set to leave River after the World Cup | OneFootball

The Colombian, who is not a priority for Coudet, is waiting for calls, and in Núñez they will not close the door on him if a good offer comes in.

Ever since Eduardo Coudet arrived at River, it became quite clear that Juanfer Quintero would not be a priority. Chacho used him in several matches, including important ones, but there were few times when he started him. In fact, last Sunday in the final against Belgrano, the coach brought the Colombian on near the end, when the team was already behind.

Juanfer did not have enough time to change the face of the team, and the final was lost for lack of a player of the Colombian’s caliber who knows how to control the tempo of the match. Given this situation, the midfielder is considering the possibility of leaving in the next transfer window.

Is Juanfer leaving River?

Everything indicates that Juan Fernando Quintero played his last match for River last Sunday against Belgrano in Córdoba. The Colombian is waiting for offers, and at the club in Núñez they are not going to stand in the way of that possibility. There is no doubt that there will be teams interested in him, and therefore his departure is practically a done deal.

It should be clarified that Quintero has not had any problem with Eduardo Coudet; it is simply a footballing matter and part of what the coach is looking for. Chacho wants a more dynamic midfield, and the Colombian does not fit into that system.

The World Cup is coming

A good showcase for Juanfer Quintero will be the 2026 World Cup. Néstor Lorenzo announced the list of players called up for the World Cup, and River’s No. 10 is included. There he will surely get minutes, and if he performs well, more opportunities will arise for him to decide his future.
