Rafael Santos Borré Maury (born 15 September 1995) is a Colombian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Argentine club River Plate.

Club career

Borré began his career with Deportivo Cali, and earned himself a name as a prolific goalscorer, which garnered the attention of some of Europe's biggest clubs. In August 2015, Borré was seen in the training grounds of Atlético Madrid. He signed for them on 28 August 2015, penning a six-year deal. However, he went back on loan to Deportivo Cali. On 25 March 2016, Borré suffered an injury. He did not play until 1 May, coming on as a 64-minute substitute for Andrés Felipe Roa in a 3–2 win against Alianza Petrolera.[1] Borré played his next match on 15 May against Jaguares de Córdoba. There he scored his team's second goal in a 3–2 win.

On 13 August 2016, Borré joined Spanish club Villarreal on a season-long loan deal.[2] On February 23, 2017, he scored his first goal for the club in a 1-0 win over AS Roma in Europa League Competition. Despite winning the match, Villarreal still lost the series by a 4-1 aggregate. On March 1, he scored a brace in a 4-1 win over Osasuna, scoring twice in under 5 minutes.

On 7 August 2017, Borré joined River Plate.[3] On 23 November 2019, he scored River Plate’s only goal in a 2-1 defeat to Flamengo in the Copa Libertadores final.

International career

Borré was called up to Colombia's under-20 team to take part in the 2015 South American Youth Championship. Colombia would eventually end up as runner-up, earning a spot at the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup in New Zealand. He managed to score two goals at the tournament.

Despite his major role in Deportivo Cali, he was still included in Colombia's 23 man squad for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup. This meant that his season at the club would be over. Borré would also participate in qualifying for the Olympics.

Senior team

On 20 March 2015, Colombia coach José Pékerman called him up to the senior squad for friendlies against Bahrain and Kuwait. However, he was an unused substitute in both matches.[4]

He made his Colombia national football team debut on 6 September 2019 in a friendly against Brazil, when he substituted Duván Zapata in the 83rd minute.[5]
