Futbolred reports on the growing tensions between Juan Fernando Quintero and América de Cali over contractual issues. Juan Fernando Quintero has expressed dissatisfaction at América de Cali due to an alleged salary non-compliance. América de Cali is open to his departure to recover their investment. There is interest from River Plate, with Marcelo Gallardo keen on Quintero's return. However, a 'gentleman's agreement' between Racing Club, América de Cali, and Quintero reportedly prevents him from joining River Plate in 2025.

Juan Fernando Quintero hinted at a potential departure from América de Cali after just six months, despite having a three-year contract. His comments came after a match in which América de Cali secured a crucial draw to advance in the Copa Sudamericana. Quintero mentioned his future plans are undecided and will be considered at the end of the semester. There are rumors about River Plate's interest in acquiring him for the Club World Cup. Quintero himself stated that 'in the transfer market, I am from River'. There is also speculation about a possible debt, but no concrete details are provided.

Juan Fernando Quintero is rumored to be one of the reinforcements for a team participating in the FIFA Club World Cup, which will be held in the United States from June 15 to July 13. Journalist Sebastián Srur from Argentina raised the question of whether Quintero would play in the Club World Cup with River Plate. Srur mentioned that it is necessary to be attentive in the coming days to see if this possibility consolidates. However, there is a condition from Racing Club that prohibits Quintero from returning to River Plate in the first year of his contract with América de Cali.

Rodrigo Riep, who represents Juan Fernando Quintero, talked about the possibility of Quintero making a return to River Plate. Even though a clause exists that prevents Quintero from going back to Argentine football within a year after his departure from Racing, his agent mentioned that Quintero has a reserved spot should the chance to return to River Plate present itself. Currently, Quintero is content at América de Cali but remains open to the idea of going back to River Plate, which is seen as a shared goal between him and the club. Additionally, Quintero's relationship with former River Plate coach Marcelo Gallardo is considered a significant factor in the potential return.
