Club América ‘to sign’ Miguel Borja after advanced talks | OneFootball

According to Americayya.net, Club América are in advanced talks to sign Colombian striker Miguel Borja this season.

The board set recruiting a centre forward as a priority after ‘Pantera’ Zúñiga failed to impress, and he is set to leave the team.

The agreement could be confirmed in the coming hours, and the player might travel to Mexico for medical tests and to sign his contract.

Borja was linked six months ago when he was a free agent, but no financial agreement was reached and he instead joined Al-Wasl in the United Arab Emirates.

The 33-year-old has built a long career in South America, shining most at River Plate in Argentina and Palmeiras in Brazil.

He is viewed as a powerful goalscorer, clinical when chances fall his way, though his age is seen as a drawback.

There is talk of a long-term deal, aiming to blend Borja’s experience with the young players who have featured in recent weeks.
