# These Palace fans react to club’s interest in Borre

A number of Crystal Palace fans have reacted to a report linking the club with a move for River Plate forward Rafael Santos Borre.

Some Palace fans are less than convinced about the report, despite it being an interesting proposition on paper.

According to [El Intransigente](https://elintransigente.com/deportes/river/2020/03/29/la-nueva-propuesta-de-las-redes-sociales-de-river-plate/), Palace are interested in signing Borre from River Plate this summer to strengthen their side.

[The report also claims](https://elintransigente.com/deportes/river/2020/03/29/la-nueva-propuesta-de-las-redes-sociales-de-river-plate/) the Colombian international has a release clause in his contract, with any club able to speak to him if they are willing to pay €25m for his services.

Roy Hodgson’s side have only [scored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/162/Show/England-Crystal-Palace) 26 goals in 29 Premier League matches this season, which is the second-worst record in the league behind Norwich. This highlights their need for a goalscorer to bolster their squad, with Borre a potential target.

Borre [has scored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/145777/Show/Santos-Borr%C3%A9) 12 goals in 18 league starts for River Plate this season, averaging an impressive [WhoScored rating](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/145777/Show/Santos-Borr%C3%A9)of 7.10. This shows that he could be the goalscorer Palace are lacking.
