Juan Fernando Quintero is getting closer to River Plate again, according to Argentine press reports.

Juan Fernando Quintero's future remains a mystery, and in the midst of the transfer market, his name is gaining traction with several clubs, at least according to press reports. This Thursday, Juanfer was strongly linked with a possible return to River Plate.

Quintero finished the semester with América de Cali without achieving the star and, in fact, without qualifying for the Colombian soccer final, which was his goal. Although the scarlet team has qualified for the Copa Sudamericana, Juanfer may not continue with the team. Everything indicates that the two sides are estranged.

Juanfer has even been rumored to have been approached by Millonarios , a team that has previously sounded him out and is now looking for a star to replace Falcao García . However, this Thursday, Argentine media are linking him again with River.

Journalist Lucho Castañares of Fox Sports Argentina was one of those who broke the story.

"EVERYTHING would be SET for Juanfer Quintero's return to #River," he said at the beginning.

"There has already been communication between the parties. All that remains is for a foreign quota to be released so the situation can be formalized. The final straw is getting closer," the journalist affirms.

The news has caused a stir within the Millonario club, where Juanfer is an idol, remembered for the goal he scored against Boca Juniors in the Copa Libertadores final in Madrid.

Quintero was recently with Racing de Avellaneda, with whom he won the Copa Sudamericana, and it's been reported that he agreed not to play for another Argentine team for a while when he negotiated with América. In this way, Racing sought to prevent River from bringing him back. Now the outlook appears to be different.

Quintero is a player beloved by the Millonario club and the fans. And, above all, by manager Marcelo Gallardo . Furthermore, the player has always expressed his love for the team.

However, Argentina also raises the possibility of Juanfer returning to Racing, where he left the doors open.

In the last few hours, the player left a post that raised new questions about his future. "It's nothing personal, it's just business." Another post: "No one will do as much for you as you will," which was interpreted as mysterious messages about what's next for his career.

Regarding his situation with América, the financial issue is said to be resolved, but differences persist. "The person who sponsored Quintero's signing and who owed the money has settled the debt. That's not the problem; that fire is out. The team owner, on the other hand, isn't interested in him continuing. He has mistreated the club's president," they stated on Blu Radio's Blog Deportivo program.
