River Plate are taking the first steps to secure the return of Rafael Santos Borre, their first major move in the transfer market for next year. The Colombian striker, currently on loan at Werder Bremen, is from Eintracht Frankfurt, whose contract with the player expires in December 2025.
Although details of the offer have not been disclosed, sources close to the negotiations indicate that River Plate could face a cost close to seven million dollars to secure Borre’s return. The 28-year-old footballer may have shown interest in returning to the club, generating positive expectations in Nunez.

Rafael Santos Borre made a significant impression at River Plate during his time between 2017 and 2021, becoming the top scorer under Marcelo Gallardo. Although his departure came with a pass in his possession, which could complicate his return, it seems that negotiations are progressing positively.
Borre was considered due to coach Martin Demichelis’ request to strengthen the attacking front with a player with similar characteristics to Julian Alvarez or Lucas Beltran. He is also evaluating coach Facundo Collidio to fill that specific role.
An impressive tally of 56 goals in 159 games during his previous stint at Borena River Plate has fueled fan enthusiasm for his potential return and cemented his place as one of the team’s stars.
