Colombian forward Borja's future in doubt over transfer delay to Mexican club

Buenos Aires, January 13 (NA) – Colombian forward Miguel Ángel Borja, whose last club was River Plate, has his future unresolved as his move to Cruz Azul of Mexico has been delayed due to a problem with the foreign player quota. According to what the Argentine News Agency was able to find out, the 'Hummingbird', who said goodbye to the millionaire squad in December 2025, had everything agreed to seal his bond with the Central American team, but said conflict caused the attacker to return to his country while the situation is resolved. However, the problem seems to have a solution since the 'Cementeros' would be looking for an exit in this transfer market for Camilo Cándido, a 30-year-old Uruguayan defender, and Mateusz Bogusz, a 24-year-old Polish midfielder. After his stint at River, where he scored 62 goals and provided 10 assists in 159 matches, Borja returned to Colombia and awaits to learn the next destination his football career will take, while at Cruz Azul they trust that the reinforcement will be confirmed in the coming weeks. Days ago, the Colombian forward shared a story through his official Instagram account where he was following the match of the team led by Marcelo Gallardo against Millonarios of Colombia.
