Days after the Chicago Fire were reportedly on the verge of signing him, only for those reports to be disavowed hours later, the chase for Juan Quintero appears to be over.
The Chicago Tribune reported this weekend that the Fire are out of the running to sign the 24-year-old Colombian forward. Argentine giants River Plate are expected to announce a season-long loan deal with Portuguese club FC Porto— with an option to make the move permanent— within the next few days.
The Tribune is reporting that the Fire had agreed to personal terms with Quintero earlier this winter but that they had not discussed anything with Porto.
