Five clubs keen to sign Miguel Borja after River exit | OneFootball

After finishing his stint at River, Miguel Borja is looking for the best possible destination to continue his football career. The Colombian will not continue playing in Argentine football, but he has options to stay in South America—with chances to play in the Copa Libertadores—or even move to Mexico.

Even though he did not end his time with the same goal-scoring effectiveness as in the past, the market finds itself with a 32-year-old striker, a World Cup player, and someone who has worn some major jerseys in his career. That’s why, just as December begins, the forward already has five interesting alternatives, according to Diario Olé.

Colombia, Peru, and the chance to play in the Copa Libertadores

Borja has the possibility of returning to his native Colombia to once again wear the Junior jersey, where he played until he was bought by River Plate. A recent photo with Carlos Bacca, the striker for the Barranquilla team, sparked excitement among the fans. There, he scored 51 goals in 86 matches and, with a strong finish to 2025, could play in the 2026 Copa Libertadores.

A similar situation is happening with Alianza Lima, which is also fighting to start the season by competing in the top continental tournament. With Hernán Barcos and Paolo Guerrero nearing the end of their careers, Néstor Gorosito wants a new face in attack, and that’s where Miguel comes in.

In Mexico, they also want Miguel Borja

Three teams from Liga MX are interested in acquiring the services of Miguel Borja. It would be a completely new experience for the Colombian, who has never played in Mexican football, although it is often a good destination for players with strong records in Argentina.

América, Cruz Azul, and Tigres are the three clubs that have set their sights on the striker. The latter already tried to sign him in the last transfer window, when the player still had six months left on his contract. In the end, no agreement was reached, and that’s why he left as a free agent.
