While all roads seemed to lead to Barranquilla or Buenos Aires, suddenly they began to talk about an option that no one had in their accounts… perhaps not even Miguel Borja himself.
The striker has been the subject of intense negotiation in recent days, which at one point had him practically one signing away from reaching River Plate, but which later cooled off. As far as is known, on the part of Junior, his current club, there were no major objections, but from Palmeiras there was, and that situation would have reversed everything that had been advanced.
And just as he was preparing to stay at the club of his loves and unpack his bags, an unexpected alternative appeared: Liga MX.
According to ‘TVAzteca Deportes’, Borja would be a kind of hidden letter from none other than Cruz Azul, who has no complications with the transfer costs and would be ready to take the next step if River does not achieve the goal of fishing him out, for which which he has just a few hours left: it is worth remembering that this June 26 the option to register him in the Copa Libertadores would expire.
“The third player who has been more covered could be the Colombian Miguel Borja, who was close to signing with River Plate, but apparently an offer from the ‘machine’ would make him reconsider his future,” said the Mexican outlet.
“However, this last candidate sounds complicated and the board of directors of the ‘cementero’ team would have to move quickly to get this highly renowned signing, due to the cost of the South American’s letter,” he added.
Plan A, however, is still River, which guarantees Libertadores and is a difficult temptation for the attacker to reject. Of course, what is not lacking in Mexico is money and that could also be valued. There is little left for the end of the novel Borja.
