The Colombian forward Miguel Borja, whose contract with River Plate ends on December 31, will become a free agent and has sparked rumors in Argentine football by not ruling out a future in the country, even with a rival club.
When asked by ESPN about a hypothetical call from Juan Román Riquelme to play for Boca Juniors, Borja responded cautiously: “If Román calls me? Don’t put me on the spot… I have a brother here who is a Boca fan.”

Is the rumor growing at the Xeneize?
Although he is still a River player, the ColibrĂ has fueled speculation by stating that “one cannot close doors, the door to return to Argentina remains open.”
This comment is particularly significant in the context of Boca Juniors. Several Xeneize fans have pointed out that Borja’s imminent free agent status represents an excellent market opportunity, considering the “very low level” currently shown by forward Milton GimĂ©nez in the blue and gold attack.
