ACE anticipated in January 2020 that the Celtic had opened a three-way negotiation for Rafael Santos Borré with River plate and the Atlético de Madrid, co-owners of the Colombian forward's pass. Fourteen months later, the name of the coffee striker is again related to the Vigo club. That supposed interest that is pointed from Argentina has served so that Felipe Miñambres recognized for the first time existence of contacts… but those that were established more than a year ago.
The sports director of the olívica entity spoke in Movistar about Borré during the break of the game against Real Madrid. Surprised by the question As to whether the attacker had reached an agreement with Celta for the next season or whether there was a possibility that he would land in Vigo, Miñambres replied that “not now. Yes, there was a moment, in January I do not know if this season or the previous one, that we were in contact with him to come and in the end it could not be done”. When that operation did not materialize, from A Headquarters they activated the option of the Russian Fedor smolov.
Without quite closing the door, Miñambres hinted that the Colombian is past water for Celta. Borré, 25, ends his contract on June 30 and with the letter of freedom under his arm his financial claims are going to skyrocket. “Now the situation is different, you will have many teams to be able to go“Said Miñambres, who with a mixture of irony and resignation concluded:”We try, we try. Another thing is where we go”.
