Quintero, 25, has already spent four years in Europe, having played for Pescara, Porto and Rennes.

He still belongs to Porto, with his year-long loan in Argentina about to end.

Pep Guardiola’s men are just four points behind Liverpool after beating the Premier League leaders 2-1 on Thursday.

But Quintero claims he will not return to Europe simply for money, adding that he would also be delighted to remain at River.

He told Radio Continental: “My agent has had a meeting with Man City, which makes me very proud.

“But if I’m to return to Europe it has to be for the benefit of all, not just a financial thing.”
