Outlook

With a Rating of 13.1, Quintero carries the 16th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 16 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.37 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~4), then tapers with age. At 33, Quintero sits on 1.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Quintero's projected Rating — 13.1 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
