BUENOS AIRES - Colombia international midfielder Juan Quintero has joined Argentine giants River Plate on a year-long loan from Porto.
The 25-year-old completed a medical in Buenos Aires on Tuesday and is expected to begin training with his new teammates this week.
"I'm very thankful for this opportunity," Quintero told reporters. "I have a lot of goals and playing at this club has a lot of merit. I want to make the most of it and learn. I think I'm ready for the challenge."
Quintero joins a distinguished list of Colombians to play for River Plate, including Radamel Falcao, Mario Yepes and Juan Pablo Angel.
