For Martín Palermo, Miguel Borja could play at Boca: "you need that"

The word of Martín Palermo is more than authorized to talk about goal scorers and Miguel Borja is flirting with the possibility of joining the Xeneize, which could be beneficial for the team, according to the Titan.

The possibility of the Colombian player coming to Boca is no longer a utopia and has started to gain momentum. According to the latest information, there was contact between the club's management and the representative of the native of Tierralta, making it real that he is on the list to strengthen the forward line.

In light of this information, Martín Palermo was consulted and shared his point of view in television statements made on ESPN. The top scorer in Boca's history stated that “being the Borja of Demichelis: he performs and scores goals, and for Boca, you need that,” referring to the level the Colombian showed when Micho was the coach of the Millionaire.

For Palermo, Borja could play for Boca.

However, on the program hosted by Mariano Closs, they raised the situation he went through with Marcelo Gallardo as coach and his last season wearing the Banda jersey. “Obviously he didn't perform, but it's always the same: Borja doesn't perform because the team didn't function.”

Moreover, Palermo argued that, in his opinion, the 32-year-old player is not someone so identified with River's history that he couldn't switch sides: “I don't think he's a historical figure identified with River to say he couldn't play for Boca.”

Miguel Borja is a possibility

What started as a rumor due to the Colombian's statements has turned into a concrete possibility. According to sources from the club in La Ribera, the player's name is on the table, and the chance of adding him as a reinforcement is being studied.

The Colombian could wear the blue and gold.

For the management, who have already pursued him in previous transfer markets before he donned the white and red jersey, the context is ideal: he has his transfer rights and is leaving River on bad terms. These factors make his arrival possible in this transfer window to play in the Copa Libertadores.
