Eliminated from the Conmebol Sudamericana Cup and without the opportunity at the end to bet on him to define the league title by falling into the hands of Atlético Nacional, the doors of a possible exit open even more for Miguel Ángel Borja with that suitor who arrives as strong as River Plate. In Argentina, they already mention that there are negotiations with the player to define his contract.
Before Saturday June 25, River Plate has decided to find a replacement for Julián Álvarez who will jump to Manchester City to fight for a place with the Norwegian monster, Erling Haaland. Those of the crossed band are excited about several names such as Diego Valoyes who can play as ‘9’ or for a band, Luis Alberto Suárez, the Uruguayan who will be released at the end of June, but the problem is his salary, and Miguel Ángel Borja which seems to be Marcelo Gallardo’s greatest wish.
For this reason, without international competition, and without the possibility of claiming champion in the BetPlay 2022-I League, River Plate sees even more the option of promptly closing the arrival of the Cordovan. They want to do it before the end of June to be able to enter it in the round of 16 of the Copa Conmebol Libertadores where they will face Vélez Sarsfield.
Miguel Ángel Borja would have his second adventure on Argentine soil after passing through Olimpo de Bahía Blanca a few years ago, where he was unable to exploit his goalscoring power. In addition, if it materializes, he would arrive carrying incessant criticism from the fans of Junior de Barranquilla who point to him as the cause of the elimination.
With great enthusiasm, Junior hit the Atanasio Girardot first, but Nacional quickly turned the score around. Starting the second stage, Miguel Ángel Borja unusually failed what equality was and the possibility of fighting even more to get to the final. After the end of the game, the forward’s ordeal began through the networks that pointed out him as the culprit.
‘Borja doesn’t do them even with an annulled play, incredible what Borja eats under the goal, a Llaneros player put it in briefly’, and even a campaign with #NoMásBorja could be seen on networks.
The fans would undoubtedly approve the departure of Miguel Borja to River Plate, who would have to endure so much criticism, but who are committed to being the replacement for Julián Álvarez. According to the Argentine press, the River Plate club intends to improve its offer.
This is the one they study, ‘River begins to prepare a new offer: the first one he made was rejected. He did not reach the amount or the payment conditions that Junior wants. The truth is that the Colombian team has not had good experiences in the past with Argentine teams, that is why they want most of the money to be in a single payment. There is talk of between 4 and 5 million dollars so that River can pocket 50% of Borja’s pass.
However, the problem is not Diego Valoyes or Luis Suárez who make this signing difficult. According to TyC Sports, the main factor is an obstacle that Junior from Barranquilla himself would put on the “millionaire” team. Well, the Chars do not intend to lose money with the effort they made to buy 50% of their rights in Palmeiras. Although with the dialogue between clubs, the negotiation could change, it is said in Argentina that there is already progress with the same player in the absence of the clubs talking.
