£40m-rated Frankfurt striker Rafael Borre keen on Premier League transfer following Europa League triumph | The Sun

COLOMBIA striker Rafael Borre is keen to come to the Premier League — but Eintracht Frankfurt want £40million for him.

Borre, 27, scored on international duty in midweek and the Bundesliga side would cash in on him.

The former River Plate forward has spent his last two campaigns in Germany amassing 15 goals and 12 assists in the process.

He played a massive part in Frankfurt’s Europa League success last season against Rangers.

The Eagles took home the trophy in a close fought battle where Borre scored the equalising goal to take the match to penalties.

He also scored his penalty to ensure the German side were crowned champions.

Frankfurt are asking for £40million despite Borre joining for free after his contract had expired in Argentina.

The former Villareal loanee has previously been linked with a move to England before with Watford reportedly interested back when he was a free agent.

His price may be justified by his international status with the Colombian making 22 appearances for his nation.
