Juan Fernando Quintero Departs Racing: New Destination Awaits

After a brief stint with Racing, Colombian midfielder Juan Fernando Quintero is reportedly set to embark on a new chapter in his footballing career. According to sources in Argentina, Quintero will not continue with the Avellaneda-based club.

Racing Departure and Saudi Arabian Offer

Despite initial indications that Quintero was in the plans of manager Gustavo Costas, the 31-year-old has only played 46 minutes since the Copa América. Quintero’s absence from the team’s recent matches has fueled speculation about his future.

Sources in Argentina, including ESPN’s Tomás Dávila, report that Quintero’s departure from Racing may be imminent due to negotiations with a team in Saudi Arabia. While Racing has not officially received an offer, it is believed that Quintero has reached an agreement with the unnamed Saudi club.

Possible Return to Colombia

In addition to the Saudi Arabian interest, there has also been speculation about Quintero’s potential return to Colombian football. Clubs such as Medellín and Junior have reportedly expressed interest in acquiring his services.

Uncertain Future

As it stands, Quintero’s future remains uncertain. While the Saudi Arabian offer seems to be the most concrete option, a return to Colombia or a move to another league cannot be ruled out. It remains to be seen where Quintero will ultimately end up.
