A club legend urges Boca to sign Miguel Borja, likens him to Batistuta | OneFootball

After his departure from River, Miguel Borja began to be mentioned as a possibility to strengthen Boca. Although the chance seems remote and unlikely, the words of the Colombian striker sparked debate. The rumor even escalated and reached a Xeneize legend, who insisted that he should wear the blue and gold jersey.

Alberto 'Beto' Márcico stated: “I've been asking for Borja for three or four years and I discussed it with Juan Román Riquelme. He is the number nine that Boca needs, he always plays in the area. Boca needs a scorer of that level.”

In the same vein, he affirmed in a conversation with FM Delga that “Borja left River feeling mistreated, where he didn't feel supported. That's why I would go after him and tell him to come, that Boca will change his life for the better.” The Colombian was let go by the Millonario after 159 matches and 62 goals.

Miguel Borja left River on bad terms.

Additionally, Beto commented: “He plays inside the area, he doesn't go beyond the vertices, and Boca needs that, a scorer of that level. He was mistreated at River, for some reason you're not performing well. That doesn't happen on its own. I would go after him.”

To conclude, Márcico addressed the Colombian striker directly and urged him: “Come Miguel, Boca will change your life for the better. Batistuta came from River to Boca and became a scorer and idol.” The truth is that the native of Tierralta became a free agent after his stint with the Millonario, where he had been since July 12, 2022.

Will Miguel Borja join? The positions to reinforce

The chance of Colombian Miguel Borja becoming a reinforcement for the Ribera team is almost nil, but the Xeneize is looking to strengthen in that area of the field, as well as in defense and midfield.

The Xeneize is preparing for 2026.

During the transfer market, the management intends to incorporate a player for each line and must decide what to do with the more than 20 players returning from their respective loans at other clubs.
