Club career

Chelsea

Born in Guayaquil, Quintero moved to Spain along 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 announced that Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur were interested in securing his services.[3] But Quintero opted to join English side 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 Adrian 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.[6] Following his debut season in England, Quintero transitioned from a winger to a central midfielder.

On 5 July 2017, following reports suggesting Quintero was ready to leave Chelsea, he joined Russian side Rostov on a season-long loan.[7] On 20 September 2017, Quintero made his Rostov debut during their cup tie against Volgar Astrakhan, replacing Žan Majer in their 2–0 away victory.[8] On 2 January 2018, Rostov removed Quintero from their official squad list.[9]

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

On 10 August 2018, Quintero agreed to join Spanish third-tier side, Lleida Esportiu on a season-long loan.[12]
