América very close to signing a centre-forward this season | OneFootball

One of the goals the board set for this season was to sign a center forward, especially after “Pantera” Zúñiga did not work out, and he will in fact be leaving the team.

According to information from several journalists, including César Merlo and Julio Ibáñez, Club América is in very advanced negotiations to sign center forward Miguel Borja.

Everything indicates that it will be made official in the coming hours, and the player himself would be traveling to Mexico for medical exams and to sign his contract.

It is not a new name for the América board, as there were also rumors six months ago that he was arriving, but even though he was a free agent, no financial agreement was reached and Borja ended up signing with Al-Wasl of the United Arab Emirates.

Who is Miguel Ángel Borja?

Miguel Borja is a 33-year-old Colombian center forward who has had a long career in South America, but the clubs where he stood out the most were River Plate in Argentina and Palmeiras in Brazil.

He has shown himself to be a goal scorer with great strength in attack and lethal when he gets the right ball, with perhaps his biggest drawback being the age at which he is arriving.

There is talk of a long-term deal, so the board’s intention is to pair a highly experienced player like Borja with the young players who have been playing in recent weeks.
