Rafael Borré would like to leave Eintracht Frankfurt in winter. The attacker has changed from a regular player to a joker. A role that causes dissatisfaction.
From regular player to joker role: Rafael Borré was still the big hero at Eintracht in mid-May when he converted the decisive penalty in the Europa League final. In the current season, however, the attacker behind Kolo Muani usually only has the joker role. So does he want to leave Frankfurt in winter?
Everything was fine last season. Rafael Borré made a whopping 45 competitive appearances, most of them from the starting XI. In addition, the winning goal in the final of the Europa League as an emotional highlight.
But in the course of the season so far it looks a bit different – mostly he is just a joker. In quite a few games, the striker sits on the bench before being substituted on by Oliver Glasner. The background: Randal Kolo Muani in particular has outstripped him in the coach’s favour.
Borré thinks of winter farewell: Frankfurt can wait calmly for offers
According to the Spanish AS The 27-year-old Colombian is therefore busy with a possible winter farewell.
According to the report, there are already interested parties. Two clubs from Spain and another from Italy have already targeted Borré, it is said. A loan would be much more conceivable than a permanent change, since Frankfurt would demand at least 20 million euros as a transfer.
That’s not exactly surprising given that it’s estimated to have a market value of €20 million (via transfer market), while he has a contract that runs until 2025. The Bundesliga club has no pressure to give him up. Especially since the role as a substitute is anything but unimportant, while he can still replace Kolo Muani from time to time in the first eleven or is an option for the two offensive positions behind. The SGE calendar is packed with the Champions League anyway.
So while his advisors are supposed to be working on a transfer, those responsible for Eintracht should remain calm. At the moment you are not dependent on timely income. So if no offer flutters into the house that makes the leadership think, you will stay firm with Borré.
