Martín Palermo believes Miguel Borja could play for Boca and give them the goals they need.

According to LaNumer12.com.ar, the prospect has gathered pace after contact between Boca’s hierarchy and the Tierralta-born forward’s representatives. His name is on the shortlist to strengthen the attack.

Speaking on television, Palermo highlighted how Borja performed under Martín Demichelis at River, noting that version delivers and is what Boca require.

He also reflected on Borja’s struggles under Marcelo Gallardo, arguing the forward did not thrive because the team did not function. Palermo added that the 32-year-old is not so closely identified with River that a move across the divide would be off limits.

What began as a rumour has become a concrete option under study at Boca. The board pursued him in previous windows before he wore River colours. With the player holding his registration and his River exit souring, a move in this window to play the Copa Libertadores is viewed as possible.
