Colombia midfielder Quintero set to join Brazil's Internacional

Xinhua, March 25, 2016 Adjust font size:

Colombia international midfielder Juan Quintero is set to join Brazil's Internacional on a season-long contract, according to media reports.

Quintero has fallen out of favor at French outfit Rennes, having made just 14 appearances since joining the Ligue 1 side on loan from Porto in August.

The deal was struck on Thursday after talks involving the 23-year-old's representatives and officials from both Porto and Rennes, Brazilian portal Gazeta Esportiva reported.

Quintero joined Porto from Italy's Pescara Calcio for 4.5 million euros in 2013.

He has been capped 12 times for Colombia and was a part of Jose Pekerman's squad that reached the quarterfinals of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Endi
