Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 9 → 20). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 53rd of 88 of the 88 centre-backs in the Primera A. At 31 Quintero is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.7 reflects that trajectory.
Quintero is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Deportivo Cali finished 14th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 55.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 12.4, Quintero carries the 53rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Primera A of 88, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Deportivo Cali finished 14th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
