Alberto Abdiel Quintero Medina (born 18 December 1987) is a Panamanian professional footballer who plays for Club Universitario de Deportes from Peru as an attacking midfielder.
Nicknamed Negrito, Quintero was born in Panama City. After beginning in his country with Chorrillo F.C. he moved to Spain in the summer of 2008, playing amateur football with Torrellano CF in Elche.
After a sole season Quintero joined FC Cartagena, three levels above his previous, with his new team having just returned to the second division. He suffered tremendously while adjusting to his new team, namely in an incident at Real Betis on 27 September 2009 (0–0 draw) where he was subjected to constant racist abuse by the opposing fans. His debut in the competition took place on 5 September, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–0 home win against Rayo Vallecano.
In 2011, after one season in the third level with Ontinyent CF, Quintero returned to his country and Chorrillo.
Following a successful campaign for Panama at the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup, Quintero caught the attention of C.F. Pachuca, who was due to sign him in August 2013. Nothing came of it, but he moved to another club in Mexico, Ascenso MX's Lobos de la BUAP.
