Cagliari have therefore identified the 25-year-old Borré as their top target to strengthen their attack. The Colombian forward is also being followed by many other clubs in Serie A including Lazio, although the Biancocelesti’s interest has cooled a little in recent weeks.

Borré has made 13 appearances this season for River Plate, for a total of 908 minutes. In that time, he has scored eight goals and provided one assist.
