🚨Borja joins a new club after his failed move to Cruz Azul | OneFootball

An Unexpected Turn to Al-Wasl Miguel Ángel Borja has been officially presented as the new addition to Al-Wasl of the United Arab Emirates. The Colombian forward, who was seeking an exit from River Plate, will continue his career in Asian football under the technical direction of Milos Milojevic. The Dubai club seized the market opportunity to acquire the services of the "Hummingbird," who arrives with the mission of being the offensive reference for the team in the UAE Pro League.

The Frustrated Move to Cruz Azul

Borja's arrival in the Middle East comes just hours after his transfer to Cruz Azul collapsed. Despite a total agreement between the clubs and the player already being in Mexican territory, "La Máquina" failed to free up the necessary foreign slot in time or complete the registration procedures before the registration deadline. This administrative error left the forward in limbo, forcing him to seek an immediate alternative to avoid inactivity.

New Challenge in Dubai

With this signing, Borja joins the growing list of international figures choosing the Emirati league to continue their careers. After the embarrassment experienced with the cement board, the Cordoban striker will seek revenge in a less traditional football but with an irresistible economic offer. The player is expected to debut in the coming weeks, once he passes medical exams and completes his adaptation to the Persian Gulf climate.
