Club career Born in Asunción, Quintana joined Olimpia's youth setup at the age of 14. He made his first team – and Primera División – debut on 29 April 2018, starting in a 3–0 home win over Sportivo Luqueño.
Quintana scored his first professional goal on 15 October 2018, netting his team's second in a 5–0 away routing of Deportivo Santaní. At the end of the season, he was elected as the Breakthrough Player.

Upon returning, Quintana was assigned back to Olimpia's first team, but suffered a knee injury in August 2022 which sidelined him for the remainder of the season.
