Despite the good performance of the Colombian, Eintracht wants to fight much higher up, knowing that this season they will play in the Champions League, and they are looking for reinforcements for their attack.
Eintracht Frankfurt hired a world champion
Already on Tuesday, Eintracht had announced the arrival of Mario Götze, scorer of Germany’s world title goal at Brazil 2014. Götze, 30, arrives from PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands.
Now, the club would be very close to signing another attacker, with many points in common with Borré: South American and former River Plate player.
