“Everyone welcomed me well, it’s been a very good adaptation and I already feel at home. The project presented to me was very good, I’m already training with the group and available to the coach. Whenever he wants, he can count on me,” said the forward.

Galo’s vice president of football, Paulo Bracks, gave details of the player’s signing: “He is our eighth signing of the year. He arrives on loan, with an option to buy, from Red Bull (Bragantino). He is a 24-year-old player, a center forward who complements, in terms of characteristics, the two players we have in the position, Cassierra and Cauã Soares,” Bracks highlighted.

Having played for the Uruguayan National Team in 2023, Borbas said that, at this moment, his focus is exclusively on Galo. “Right now, I’m only thinking about giving my 100% here and achieving the team’s objectives. My mind is only on Galo,” he said.

Born in Montevideo, Uruguay, Borbas began his career in River Plate-URU’s youth academy and was promoted to the professional squad in 2020. In January 2023, he was signed by Red Bull Bragantino. In the 2026 season, the forward played on loan for Real Oviedo, in Spain.

“I had a difficult spell in Spain, I arrived in the middle of the season, but it served as experience. I’m young, very eager, and there’s nothing better than Galo to start scoring goals again and feel good again,” he commented.

The Uruguayan forward concluded by speaking about the competition for places. “It will be very healthy competition. I’m going to work very hard every day to be able to help the team, give my 100%, and achieve our objectives.”
