River accelerates for Colombian Borja: close in numbers, but obstacles in conditions

Julián Álvarez’s departure has all Núñez in suspense. That’s why River is looking for a “9”, as they will have it in squad starting July 7 two forwardsMatias Suarez and Brian Romero. So, in the last few hours, they have accelerated for the Colombian Miguel Borgia.

The negotiation is not easy but the talks with the management of Junior de Barranquilla, where Borja plays, and with the player’s representative have been positive. So what are the disadvantages? One of these is the high contractual cost of the player and the other that the Colombian institution wants the transfer of money in one amount or at most in two.

In this sense, the “millionaire” delegation in Paris coincided with the agents of Miguel Borja, based in Milan, a few hours before the match that the real Madrid beat the Liverpool at the Stade de France for the Champions League. And in that conclave formalized the intentions of the institution of Núñez.

River looking to buy 50 percent of Borja’s pass, which Junior liked 5 million dollars. Until then there would be no problems other than the fact that the management of the Núñez club will try to lower the price a bit (to 4 or 4.5 million dollars).

The Tierra Alta striker, 183cm tall, is right-handed and stands out for being a finishing and finishing striker, who returned to Junior six months ago after the Barranquilla club had bought him from palms to 3.5 million dollars.

The topic is now convince the player to adapt to Argentina’s economic environment, putting on the table the important challenge that will be for his career to wear the red sash. The sporty look can pass. Already eliminated from the Copa Sudamericana for the blow suffered in the 4-0 of the Unión de Santa Fe last Thursday (with a Borja who misses a penalty and misses more than one clear scoring opportunity), he has no more goals for the national team for the advantage in Junior for the 29-year-old forward, which he made 15 goals in 20 games so far in 2022.

And River, in the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores, represents a contrast in this sense, even if it will matter what will happen in the next few days: Borja is playing with his team in the semi-finals of the local tournament (on Tuesday Junior lost 2-0 to Bucaramanga) and has the quarter-finals of the Colombian Cup ahead of him. National Athletics.

In River, however, they will not wait. Options already fallen as Lucas Alario and Sebastiano Driussiwith the goal of Castellanos almost impossible and very far from the numbers that Lanús asks José Manuel Lopez (He would go to Palmeiras), they go with everything for Borja.
