Attacker Rafael Borré is moving to Brazil at the end of the season at the latest – and is causing trouble for Werder Bremen.
Attacker Rafael Borré is leaving Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt “at the latest” at the end of the season. As the Hessians announced, the Colombian, who is currently on loan at Werder Bremen, is moving to Internacional Porto Alegre in Brazil in the summer, following his former teammate Lucas Alario.
Borré appeared in photos on social networks wearing the jersey of his future employer when signing the contract. An approach that caused dissatisfaction in Bremen. “It’s completely fine that Frankfurt and Porto Alegre have found an agreement, but we are very irritated that Rafael has already been photographed in the jersey of another club,” said professional football director Clemens Fritz to the “Deichstube”.
“He is still under contract with us until the summer. Porto Alegre’s approach is very surprising,” explained Fritz. Borré has been playing on loan on the Weser since the summer of 2023, and there had recently been speculation about an early end to the loan deal. Then he could also move directly to Brazil.
Fritz’s criticism was met with both understanding and shaking of heads online. Because Werder Bremen presented the signing of Dawid Kownacki, who was in the second division promotion race with Fortuna Düsseldorf at the time, during the current game operations in the previous season.
