💣Die Rückkehr des Helden: River Plate will einen kolumbianischen Star zurückholen

River Plate is not slowing down in the transfer market. While the squad carries out its preseason in Alicante, Spain, ahead of the second half of 2026, the club’s leadership has begun formal talks to bring back a familiar face much loved by the fans: Colombian striker Rafael Santos Borré.

Eduardo Coudet’s key call

The Núñez side’s head coach, Eduardo Coudet, personally contacted the forward to express his desire to add him to the sporting project. The striker, who had already worked with “Chacho” for four months at Inter Porto Alegre in early 2024, gave a positive response that has the entire River world excited.

Borré is coming off an average half-season in Brazil, recording nine goals in 28 matches, although he was left out of the 2026 World Cup due to a tactical decision by Néstor Lorenzo.

Inter Porto Alegre’s stance

Unlike in previous transfer windows, Inter Porto Alegre’s management has shown itself open to negotiating the player’s departure, despite the fact that he remains under contract until the end of 2028.

Now, the offices in Núñez will have to work out the financial structure to seal the deal: the most viable option is to agree on a loan with a fee and an option or obligation to buy.
