Last season, Rafael Borré shot Eintracht to the European Cup victory. The Colombian scored important goals against both Barça and West Ham, scoring Frankfurt’s only goal against Glasgow Rangers in the final and even converting the decisive penalty.
In the current season he was used in all Champions League games and 13 of 14 Bundesliga games. But: After Eintracht signed Randal Kolo Muani from FC Nantes for 16 million euros, Borré hardly made any starting eleven appearances. His only 90-minute appearance was in the DFB Cup against Stuttgarter Kickers. As a rule, coach Oliver Glasner replaces him in the last quarter of an hour at best.

Apparently that doesn’t meet the requirements of the Colombian international. “Rafa feels uncomfortable in Germany”, Borré’s adviser now revealed on Argentine television. The player representative was very disappointed with Eintracht.
Borré consultant accuses Eintracht bosses of breach of word
“Borré is not respected there,” says Martin Araoz. “It’s one thing not to let him play, but another to bring him in for three or four minutes. Rafa didn’t deserve that,” he explains.TyC Sports“.

In general, the restricted deployment times would represent a breach of the word. “Frankfurt promised to give him a lot of minutes and they didn’t keep it”, Aroaz accuses the SBU leadership. “As a result, he could lose his place in the national team,” said the agent concerned.
Borré therefore wants to leave the club as soon as possible. “It’s not a question of money,” emphasizes Aroaz explicitly. The operating times are in the foreground. And just the respect. “You have to look for the best for everyone. We’ll see what happens,” he hinted at an impending change.
River Plate and Tigres want Borré, Eintracht rejects initial offers
Accordingly, there have already been inquiries that Borré and his management are seriously dealing with. His ex-club, River Plate Buenos Aires, is said to be interested in a loan return. Borré has already played 149 games for the Argentinian prestige club and even won the Copa Libertadores in 2018.

How “sports1” reported, but Frankfurt does not want to lend the player under any circumstances. Accordingly, Eintracht would only let the striker go from a bid of twelve million euros.
“In principle, they don’t want to lend it, but we have to find a way,” confirmed Aroaz, but is confident that Frankfurt and River Plate would come to an agreement. “Of course the first answer is ‘no’. But we are working on it,” assures the consultant.
At the weekend, Colombian media also reported that Mexican club Tigres UANL would also like to sign Borré. Accordingly, Frankfurt had already rejected an initial offer of 9.5 million euros, but better offers could follow.
The world championship for Bayern’s central defender Lucas Hernández ran just nine minutes before it was over again for the left foot. The 26-year-old got stuck in the grass during the game between France and Australia, caught his right knee and had to be substituted.
