Inter Miami Confirms No Interest in Signing Juan Fernando Quintero

Club sources told ESPN that Inter Miami has not expressed any interest in signing Colombian national-team midfielder Juan Fernando Quintero, and that no contact or negotiations have taken place between the player and the Major League Soccer (MLS) franchise. The report counters earlier speculation linking Quintero with the club.

Juan Fernando Quintero became a free agent after he and Argentine side River Plate mutually terminated his contract on July 24, 2024. During his tenure with River Plate, he logged 137 appearances across all competitions. Internationally, Quintero featured in four matches for Colombia at the summer World Cup.

Inter Miami has been active in the transfer market, most notably adding Brazilian midfielder Casemiro on a free-transfer deal that runs through the end of the 2027 MLS season, with an option to extend until June 2029. The club also secured Ecuadorian defender Fricio Caicedo on loan from Costa Rican side FC Moravia FCM for the remainder of the 2027 MLS Sprint Season.

Co-owner Jorge Mas explained that the arrival of Casemiro reflects Inter Miami’s “vision and ambition,” emphasizing a commitment to “raise standards every season” and to build a “global club” that can serve as a benchmark both domestically and internationally. The statement underscores the franchise’s focus on targeting high-profile players who align with that strategic outlook, a factor that appears to have guided the decision not to engage with Quintero.
