Colombian forward Miguel Ángel Borja, who failed to impress in the last season, is likely to leave River Plate. However, with the return of Marcelo Gallardo to the bench, Borja's performance declined and his prominence in the starting eleven began to reduce noticeably. Meanwhile, Tigres is looking to strengthen its squad for the upcoming Liga MX tournament and believes Borja could bring hierarchy and international experience to their attack. In the coming days, the Mexican management could send a formal offer to the 'Millionaire', who will evaluate the economic and sporting conditions before making a final decision. The 32-year-old forward has been on the Mexican club's radar for several months, but now the sporting conditions seem to be opening the door for a possible departure. River Plate confirmed that they will listen to offers, mainly due to the attacker's poor performance in the last season. Throughout the year, Borja played 48 official matches, accumulated 2,213 minutes of play, and contributed 8 goals and 3 assists, numbers that failed to meet the expectations of the coaching staff and the fans. The forward had established himself as a starter during Martín Demichelis's tenure, where he showed his best version and was a key piece in several decisive matches.
Borja Could Leave River Plate Due to Tigres' Interest
Colombian forward Miguel Ángel Borja, whose performance declined after Gallardo's return, could move to Mexican Tigres. River Plate is ready to listen to offers for the 32-year-old forward who showed low productivity last season.
