The link between Juan Fernando Quintero Y Flat River ends in less than 24 hours. When the calendar hits December 31st, the contract will have expired. And on the eve, the Colombian used his Instagram to send a farewell message.
“Don’t try to figure it out! I’ve always been happy in River. Say what they say, I just have to thank everyone RIVER WORLD. Here you have a fan for life! Thank you and Happy New Year to all,” Juanfer posted on the social network along with photos from his time at the Millionaire.
The reality is that, should it materialize, his departure cannot be considered surprising because the skilled player had anticipated it a few days ago in the Argentine press. “We all really want it, but the reality is different. If it happens, that’s fine; If not, I will continue with respect, with affection, with love,” he told ESPN.
What is Quintero’s main impediment to continuing? It has nothing to do with the separation of Marcelo Gallardo and the hiring of Martín Demichelis. The problem, however, is economics.
The main obstacle between River and the Colombian is Núñez’s club It is not possible to transfer foreign currency abroad.according to the financial regulation of Argentina, for the acquisition of patrimonial rights.
“Juanfer is a complex issue. Due to your status as a resident of Argentina, this makes it impossible for us to send foreign currency abroad to purchase economic rights. We want to see if we can somehow reach an agreement with the Chinese club (Note: Shenzhen Kaisa). Everyone knows that (Qintero’s) departure was complex, now they are on good terms. And if not, see the alternatives,” Jorge Brito, president of River, raised in TyC Sports.
For the footballer, “a contract on national account, with a dollar amount that passes into Argentine pesos, is not profitable,” River Plate sources explained to Clarín. And this week it began to circulate strongly in the Brazilian press. that Flamengo could close its constitution in a matter of hours.
Meanwhile, Quintero is still in Colombia, away from the team led by Demichelis and who will travel to the United States in January to continue the preseason. On River’s agenda are friendlies against Monterrey from Mexico (10/01 in Austin, Texas), Millonarios from Colombia (14/01 at the DRV PNK Stadium in Florida) and Vasco de Gama from Brazil (17/01 at the same stadium) .
