River Plate sealed the return of Juanfer Quintero, the idol of an unforgettable final.
The Madrid hero is back: Juanfer has signed until 2027, and fans are already dreaming of another eternal left-footed strike. Marcelo Gallardo asked for him, and the Monumental awaits him with open arms.
The most anticipated return for River Plate fans is now official: Juan Fernando Quintero begins his third season at the club where he became an eternal idol after scoring one of the most memorable goals in River Plate's history, the one that broke the tie against Boca Juniors in Madrid , in the 2018 Copa Libertadores final.
After a brief stint with América de Cali, a club with which he severed ties due to breaches of contract, the Colombian returns to Núñez with the ambition of writing new glorious chapters. River Plate paid $2,250,000 for 100% of his contract, and he will sign a contract until December 31, 2027.

Juanfer was once again introduced as a new signing on the club's social media. His arrival not only generates enthusiasm for what he represents in football, but also for the strong bond he maintains with the fans and withMarcelo Gallardo , the team's current coach, who was key during his first stint and specifically requested his return.

“The River Plate fans made me feel at home from day one. I always dreamed of returning. I'm here for them, for the club, for Gallardo, and for everything this jersey represents,” Quintero said in his first message after the official announcement.
Although fans are already clamoring to see him on the field, his debut won't be immediate. He won't be playing against Instituto this Saturday and could only get playing time against San Lorenzo (Sunday, July 27) or in the Copa Argentina match against San Martín de Tucumán on August 2 in Santiago del Estero.
River Plate is getting a player who will not only bring quality and standing, but also an unbreakable emotional connection with the club and its fans. And that, at Núñez, is always worth more.
