Atlético Junior does not intend to allow himself to be snatched from his scorer Miguel Ángel Borja and after learning that Boca Juniors was interested in a business to sign him, he decided to accelerate his purchase from Palmeiras. On June 30, the deadline will expire and according to the press in Barranquilla, the rojiblanco club will make the option effective. Borja stays.
According to El Bordillo, from Barranquilla, Junior confirmed this Friday to the verdao that he will make use of 50% of the purchase option of Miguel Ángel Borja, for whom “he will pay 4.5 million dollars,” as indicated. On the other hand, the journalist ‘Bocha’ Jiménez indicated on Twitter that “the clubs (Junior and Palmeiras) agree on the deadlines for payments.”
In Barranquilla it is also said that despite the continuity of Borja, who plays the Copa América in Brazil with the Colombian National Team, Luis Amaranto Perea and the board are after the signing of another striker.
The one who would be in the shark’s sights is Diego Herazo, a La Equidad player and one of the top scorers in the Colombian championship with 11 goals. Others who would be on the rojiblanco’s radar are Walmer Pacheco and Daniel Mantilla, also insurers.
But these are not all the news that surround the Junior. According to ‘Bocha’ Jiménez, Teófilo Gutiérrez, who is on vacation in Miami, wants to continue at the club and is thinking of fixing it, even if it costs him to lower his salary. “It facilitates the continuity in the team of his loves, lowers economic pretensions and the duration of the next contract. He dismisses tempting offers from Nacional and Al-Nasr.”
