The possible transmission of Miguel Angel Borja To Boca Juniors has made a strong impact on Argentine football since the Colombian striker has a current contract in River Plateis preparing to strengthen Xeneize’s forward line next season. The operation, which could take place from January 1st, would not only have sporting consequences, but also received the approval of a historic player who wore both jerseys: Oscar Ruggeri.
In the final phase of his contract with River, which expires on December 31, the striker is entitled to negotiate with other institutions, although he cannot receive his file until January. This situation postpones any relevant definition until early 2026, when the Boca Juniors team resumes training at the Ezeiza facility on January 2nd. Until then, the striker can talk to other clubs but cannot sign a new contract, which is keeping fans of both teams in suspense. In fact, there was a survey or an approximation.
Given this panorama in the cycle ESPN’s F90where he serves as a panelist, the former defender recalled that he had also gone through a similar situation, albeit in the opposite direction, stating: “He kicked three balls against River (Borja). What will happen to him? How can he not go? He will certainly go.”
And then he added: “If they call him, he will go. And what will the people do? Nothing if there are no visitors now.”. Aside from that, He claimed that the Colombian had no role in the story of the Núñez occupationapart from the fact that he scored a lot of goals.
The first rapprochement between the Boca Juniors and Borja’s entourage occurred before the interview that the attacker gave ESPN last Thursday. On this occasion, the Colombian surprised by not ruling out the possibility of wearing the blue and gold jersey, fueling rumors of the Ribera club’s particular interest. Borja explained: “You can’t close the doors.”in terms of the chance of joining the opposing team.
The possibility of Borja crossing directly from the river to Boca represents a challenge both sportingly and symbolically. The striker, who had already been close to signing with Xeneize on several occasions before arriving in Núñez, established himself as a goalscorer and was a protagonist in Superclásicos, making any negotiations impossible at that point. However, his departure from the Núñez club and distancing himself from the fans opened a new scenario in which the thirst for revenge and the possibility of restarting his career with the biggest rival grow stronger.
Boca’s interest is not exclusive, as clubs from Mexico like Blue Cross They also showed interest in Borja. However, the sporting relevance of a transfer to Boca could compensate for financially superior offers. own Juan Roman Riquelme is considering submitting a formal proposal in the coming days that could speed up negotiations.
There are currently no formal negotiations, but the start of contacts already marks a turning point in a story that promises new chapters. The simple fact that both parties have started talking makes Borja the main candidate to fill Boca’s number nine jersey next season.
