BUENOS AIRES, July 17 (Xinhua) -- Playmaker Juan Fernando Quintero has rejoined Argentina's River Plate from Colombian side America de Cali, the Buenos Aires club said on Thursday.

The 32-year-old Colombia international agreed to a deal that reportedly runs until December 2027 for an undisclosed transfer free.

"Juan Fernando Quintero signed his contract and initiates a new cycle as a player of this institution," River said in a statement on its official website.

The announcement came after Quintero completed a medical at the club's headquarters earlier on Thursday.

The midfielder has had two previous spells at River: from 2018 to 2020 and in 2022. He was part of the River side that won the 2018 Copa Libertadores, scoring a late goal in the final against rival Boca Juniors.

Quintero made 21 appearances for America - scoring three goals and providing five assists - following his January move from Argentina's Racing.

For River, the Medellin-based player has made 97 appearances, scoring 19 goals and providing 15 assists. Enditem
