The negotiation for the pass of Miguel Ángel Borja facing the closing of the summer pass market, which ends on August 31, seems to indicate that Boca Juniors will no longer insist on signing the Cordovan attacker who aroused the eyes in Buenos Aires after the completion of the Copa América 2021.
This change of plans would obey in principle to the economic claims of Borja, that the club xeineize it could not cover, but that in Brazil apparently they can guarantee it. And it is that although he was ruled out by the Palmeiras board for his participation in the Copa Libertadores, the Colombian continues to train and fulfill his contract at ‘Verdão’, but he and his agent are already looking for a new shirt to collect in your club history.
Although it is a latent possibility to be signed by Turkish Beşiktaş, everything seems to indicate that his near future will be to accumulate more minutes at Brasileirão, but now at Grêmio de Porto Alegre.
According to Globo Esporte, the details of the business between the São Paulo group and the tricolor show that Borja would be more than satisfied financially. It would be the second assignment since he arrived in Palmeiras in 2017, because before the expiration of his loan contract with purchase option he was in the Junior de Barranquilla de Amaranto Perea.
According to Globo, Borja will arrive in Grêmio with a contract that will run until the end of 2022. They reported that the Colombian left São Paulo on the morning of this Tuesday, August 3 and disembarked in Porto Alegre at noon.
Borja should be Grêmio’s fourth reinforcement this season, the first after the arrival of coach Felipão, who has already worked with the Palmeiras center forward. For the position, the Tricolor currently has Diego Souza, Diego Churín and Ricardinho
In this way, he carried out medical examinations at the Luiz Carvalho training center and would proceed to sign a contract with the management of Grêmio, where he would go on to be directed by the 2002 world champion, Luiz Felipe Scolari, sharing dressing room in attack with the experienced forward Douglas Costa.
Among the economic details of the signing of the Colombian by Grêmio, Globo learned that the tricolor club will pay around six million reais, that is, 4,512′720,000 pesos, to Palmeiras to have Borja on loan until the end of 2022. In addition, his salary will be fully paid by Grêmio. To be released from his initial contract, Borja would have to extend the contract with Palmeiras for another 18 months, the same period of the relationship with the tricolor.
While in Argentina it was difficult to get Borja a contract with payment in dollars, due to the devaluation of the Argentine peso and the control of the American currency by the state of this country, in Porto Alegre this does not seem to be inconvenient, considering that after the end of the BetPlay League I 2021 The Cordovan not only increased its appreciation, but began to charge much more than what they were paid in Barranquilla and São Paulo.
