The name of Miguel Borja rings out almost every other day in the Argentine media. They talk about Boca Juniors, calls, contacts, news that come and go. But has progress really been made?
What is very clear is that the actions of the attacker, author of one of Colombia’s goals in the Copa América (defeat 1-2 against Peru in the group stage) and very effective in the definitions by penalties against Uruguay (quarters) and Argentina (semifinal) beyond the final result, they are trading higher. That is why the phones are constantly receiving messages. But it takes more than just interest.
The Boca Juniors, indeed, has been clear: they spoke with Palmeiras, some progress was made, but when the points of the concrete offers were reached, the situation changed.
“Miguel Ángel Borja is still in negotiations to find out if the player is willing to give up a bit in his contract, because it is very high and it is difficult to pay it in Argentina, especially because the Colombian demands that he be paid in dollars and that is complicated “said the TNT Sports Argentina channel.
Partially true. The demands have not yet passed through the currency, but it is true that the positions are far apart: the offer has not even been considered.
What definitely has not happened is the supposed conversation that the forward would have had with Juan Román Riquelme, who according to the aforementioned media would have made an approach to explore a possible salary reduction for the player. None of that happened. It may be an idea that someone slipped, but the talk, up to this point, did not happen.
What then does the possible arrival at Boca Juniors depend on? Of a much greater effort economically on the part of the club and the reactivation of some contacts that have stagnated in recent days.
Meanwhile, it is a reality that there was an interest, without becoming a formal offer, from Besiktas of Turkey and that, if it were to materialize, it would be analyzed by Palmeiras, which has a contract until December 2022 and that, to date Today, it is the only future destination of the Cordoba, 28 years old and with a price of 5 million euros, according to Transfermarkt. Whoever wants it will have to pay for it. That is the other great certainty.
