It Was Rumored for Real Madrid and Vinícius is Seen with Him, His Goal is Historic
One of the stars sought by Real Madrid has been surprisingly seen alongside Vinícius Júnior.
With the season coming to a brief pause, several players are taking their time to rest. One of them is Vinícius Júnior, who hasn't wasted much time before starting to make the most of his time. Sporting a notable change of look, the Brazilian was spotted with one of the biggest stars in all of South America.
Juan Fernando Quintero was spotted sharing a particular moment with the Real Madrid star. The Colombian star was, at one point, a strong interest to strengthen the merengue team.
Having been part of several clubs throughout his career, River Plate was the most prominent. The goal he scored at Santiago Bernabéu to win the Copa Libertadores was immortalized forever. A trophy that confirmed him as a star who, unfortunately, never got to wear white.
The Transfer That Never Was
At 31 years old, Quintero continues to stand out in South American soccer as a star. Being part of Racing in Argentina, the Colombian has settled into his team. The 2,220 minutes he has played this season show that, despite his age, the midfielder remains important.
Considered one of the best Colombian talents at the time, Real Madrid was interested in transfer him. Having had experience in Europe thanks to Porto, Stade Rennes, and Pescara, the player was accustomed to the level of the big leagues. However, his transfer could never be finalized.
His appearance alongside Vinícius has shown that, despite everything, he still holds a special place for Real Madrid. A love and a desire for the merengue team that, unfortunately, never saw its realization. Still, the player managed to play the match of his life in the best stadium in the world.
A Great Career
Despite not being able to reach Real Madrid, Quintero at least got to play a match in the legendary Santiago Bernabéu. Having been responsible for River Plate's last Copa Libertadores, the Colombian midfielder ensured he was etched in history. An unforgettable moment for a player who would have enamored the Madrid fans.
