Juan Fernando Quintero collided elbows with his teammates from River last Friday, on his return to training at the Ezeiza campus after having completed the 14 days of mandatory quarantine after returning from Medellín. Since then the Colombian had no rest (he even worked on Sunday). Neither physical nor mental. Because also this Monday from the environment of the left-hander they assured that Shenzhen of China will return to the charge for him with an overcoming counter offer that would leave him one step away from Asian football.
These days, Juanfer's face tells thatis happy in River. And it is also seen in posts on her Instagram account. He said it when there was talk of a possible sale to the MLS 'Chicago Fire earlier this year. He rewrote it after a Qatar football offer failed to materialize. In those days a possible offer from the League of United Arab Emirates was also discussed. Nor did it come.
What did happen was the offer from Shenzhen of China last week. It was said that the offer was 10 million euros gross, of which River would receive seven million clean. Low, then it was commented that the seven million were really the total, and River would have less than five million. Anyway, it was rejected.
Now Jordi Cruyff, the new coach of the Chinese team, gave the endorsement for the negotiation for Juanfer to continue. And Asians would be willing to pay around 12,100,000 gross euros for their token, which in theory would represent a net income of about 9 million for River (10.5 million dollars), a figure very close to what the club owes. by player passes.

However, in Núñez other numbers are being considered, which could trigger a conflict of interest between the club and the company that represents the soccer player, Go Pro Sport Management (which has ex-footballer Rodrigo Riep and Norman Capuozzo, also representatives of Sebastián Villa, to head).
Because the leaders believe that in reality the club would have, with those numbers, less than 7 million euros clean . Because in addition to taxes and commissions, they should deduct the amount of a debt that River still has with Porto for the player's pass. And if so - according to what they entrusted to Clarín - they would hardly accept.
On the sidelines, one thing is clear: the Colombian environment is exerting pressure. And not just businessmen. Also Juanfer's mother . A situation that Clarín had already anticipated when talking about the chance of Qatar.

The possibility of economic growth is undoubtedly tempting for the Colombian. They would offer him $ 15 million for a three-year contract. Perhaps that is the reason that would have led him to tell Marcelo Gallardo that he is considering leaving.
The Doll took the position of recommending, as he always does. This time there will be no persuasion. Understand the pandemic context that leads to rethinking numbers and goals. And at 27 years old (he turns 28 in January), after having suffered a torn ligament in his left knee (in March of last year and returned in October) and having played a few minutes (440 minutes in 15 games; the average gives him just five full games), perhaps he will see that he will not have economic offers of this magnitude in the remainder of his career.
Of course, a departure to China would imply resigning competitiveness. That is precisely what led him to reject the player himself another millionaire offer from the same country at the end of 2018 for 17 million euros. He came from scoring Boca the goal that remained for history in the final of the Copa Libertadores in Madrid. But time passed for everyone. And the context, in the middle of a pandemic, is another, of course.
