América close to sealing deal for Miguel Borja | OneFootball

One of the major problems for Club América in this tournament has been the lack of effectiveness from their center forwards.

The Águilas currently have four center forwards on the squad, and none of them have managed to secure a starting spot, nor have they performed as expected.

Rodrigo Aguirre, Henry Martín, Víctor Dávila, and the most recent arrival, José Zúñiga, have all had a forgettable semester. Between them, they have only scored eight goals, with Rodrigo Aguirre being the top scorer in this area with four goals.

This is how the season has gone for América's forwards:

Will Miguel Borja arrive to change things?

Reports from Colombia indicate that there are two clubs in Liga MX very interested in River Plate striker Miguel Ángel Borja, who will become a free agent this December after his contract with the Argentine club ends.

One of the people close to the player, Óscar Arturo Martan, stated that if América can reach a financial agreement with Borja, he would sign with the Águilas for the next season.

But this could also be a tactic to put pressure on Club León, a team that is also pursuing him, and by publicly revealing that América is interested, it could force them to speed things up and offer more money.

It's hard to imagine that he could join América, as we are talking about a 32-year-old striker with a high salary, and this year he has had a poor performance, scoring only eight goals in 48 matches played.
