River: Miguel Borja travels to Argentina to join Gallardo’s team

Miguel Angel Borja will become a River player. Eventually, the pass was unlocked and there was a deal.

In this way the Colombian embarked on a trip from Barranquilla and this Monday at dawn he will arrive in Buenos Aires to undergo a medical examination, sign a contract for three and a half years (until December 2025) and once all the procedures are completed, enter immediately on the campus led by Marcelo Gallardo.

After a week in which the dollar question seemed to hinder the arrival of the Colombian, everything was resolved.

According to what the president of River, Jorge Brito, commented, there were no problems with the Central Bank, so much so that the Núñez institution was able to buy the dollars at the official exchange value and make the first transfer to Junior, as agreed with the club. Barranquilla.

What happened is that the coup of the Mep dollar (in one day its value rose by over 50 pesos to exceed 270 pesos) made it necessary to review the contract with the player and establish new conditions for the operation.

And despite River being eliminated from the Copa Libertadores, the chance to bring Borja never fell due to that problem because Gallardo also needed a “9” to compete locally, in which he will face the Professional League and the Argentine Cup. On the other hand, the other alternatives on the market weren’t that convincing.

Then Borja, who also pushed from his seat for the situation to have a happy ending, will put the red band on his chest. And he will try to give Gallardo’s team the missed goals. Especially after the departure of Julián Álvarez, already presented at Manchester City.
