The truth behind Boca’s interest in Miguel Borja | OneFootball

After the controversial statements made by the Colombian, who still has a contract with River despite having said his goodbyes, several versions began to circulate about an alleged contact with Xeneize for this transfer window.

Does Miguel Borja have a chance to play for Boca? The striker himself, who still has a contract with River until the end of December despite already having said farewell, sparked controversy with his recent statements. He didn’t close the door, and immediately, rumors about a bombshell transfer began to swirl.

However, according to what tycsports.com has learned, at this point there have been no contacts between the parties and he is also not a player that Juan Román Riquelme has on his radar as a possible reinforcement for next season, when he will become a free agent.

While it’s true that in the past—after the 2021 Copa América—the now-defunct Football Council approached him with the intention of acquiring the Colombian’s services, the transfer ultimately didn’t happen because “I had a contract with Palmeiras and they decided that I should go to Junior de Barranquilla”. Today, he is not on Xeneize’s list of signings.

Boca is looking for one or two center forwards to strengthen the squad ahead of 2026, when they will return to the Copa Libertadores, but Borja is not considered an option after his time at River. In fact, the 32-year-old striker’s camp has denied any kind of call or offer, and emphasized that his most likely destination is Mexico.

For now, there are no contacts and it’s unlikely there will be any, according to information obtained by this outlet, so the rumors are nothing more than that: simple rumors on the eve of what is shaping up to be one of the busiest transfer windows ever.

Borja didn’t close the door on Boca

What did Borja say? “I have a brother here who is a Boca fan, but right now I’m thinking about enjoying my vacation and considering the best option for my family. Luckily, the option of returning to Argentina is open and that’s very nice.” confessed the Colombian.

Afterwards, the aforementioned family member of the center forward interrupted the interview, confirmed he is a Boca fan, and spoke his mind without mincing words:
