Club career

Chelsea

Born in Guayaquil, Quintero moved to Spain with his family at the age of five. [2] He joined La Masia , the youth academy of Barcelona, at the age of eight. In 2013, it was reported that Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur were interested in securing his services, [3] but Quintero opted to join English club Chelsea in July 2014. [4] However, due to paperwork and visa issues, Quintero was unable to play a competitive match for Chelsea until he turned 18. [5] During the 2014–15 under-21 campaign, Quintero became a key figure in Adi Viveash's starting eleven, featuring eighteen times and scoring once in all competitions. [5] He scored his first goal for the Chelsea academy in an UEFA Youth League encounter against Portuguese club Porto.

[8] On 2 January 2018, Rostov removed Quintero from their official squad list. [9]

Following his return from Rostov, Quintero joined Spanish club Betis B in January 2018 on loan for the remainder of the campaign. The deal also included an option to purchase Quintero at the conclusion of the loan spell. [10] On 4 March 2018, he made his Betis B debut during their 3–1 away defeat against Mérida, replacing Jesús Pozo in the 79th minute. [11]
