Juan Fernando Quintero: Three Exotic Leagues and a Decision Made

Juan Fernando Quintero’s departure from Racing is imminent, according to sources in Argentina, and three foreign leagues are reportedly interested in acquiring the Colombian player, who is said to have already decided on his future.

Racing Bid Farewell

Reports indicate that the Colombian is no longer content with his role at Racing, prompting him to seek a new club. Despite persistent rumors linking him to a return to River Plate, ESPN claims that Quintero has three foreign leagues vying for his services, and he has already made a decision.

Foreign Interest

“Quintero has three offers: one from Qatar, another from China, where he has played before, and the most significant one from Saudi Arabia,” ESPN’s “Fútbol 360” reported. Sources suggest that the Saudi club has expressed interest in Quintero and has contacted Racing president Víctor Blanco to inquire about the player’s release conditions.

Lucrative Offer

Insider information reveals that the Saudi offer could surpass even what Racing initially invested in Quintero. “Racing is seeking a figure exceeding three million dollars,” the program stated. It is understood that Quintero has agreed on personal terms with the Saudi team, with the contract offering a salary more than triple what he currently earns in Argentina.

Economic Considerations

Quintero is said to have informed Racing coach Gustavo Costas that this could be his final chance to secure a substantial financial gain. With his age exceeding 30, he views the move as an opportunity to improve his financial standing. Racing’s decision to release Quintero hinges on receiving an official offer from the Saudi club.
