Juanfer Quintero's future at River Plate remains uncertain

Juanfer Quintero responded with a brief, annoyed "Huh" when asked about his plans after the 2026 World Cup, leaving his stay at River Plate undefined. His contract runs until December 2024, and both coach Eduardo Coudet and assistant Stefano Di Carlo have dismissed transfer rumors, stating the player has not indicated a desire to leave.

During the World Cup, Quintero captained Colombia, entered the match against Congo in the second half and provided the assist for the winning goal. Since Coudet took charge at River, his playing time has diminished and the club is weighing his role amid a more physical tactical system, while still acknowledging his past importance for the team.
