The operation, which had intended to employ River Plate striker Miguel Angel Borja, has been effectively shut down due to banking problems in Argentina, or is too complicated to shut down.
While River hope to move quickly and sign the striker for Junior de Barranquilla, they know they have until this Thursday, July 7, to complete the deal as the Argentine Professional League closes the transfer book.
Given the prospect of not going to Borja River, Barranquilla begs the question: Will the scorer be in junior this semester? There was no official offer from another group to stay with Miguel Angel at the table of the Sar Clan, the owner of the shark.
However, from Mexico, Cruz Azul has been assured of interest in the Gabi forward, although he has not sent any kind of offer as he understands River is firmly in favor of the player and does not want to interfere. Borja’s dream is to play for an Argentine club.
That balance maintained by the Mexican club will change in the next few hours: Cruz Azul, Jr. and Palmeiras are ready to formalize an offer close to the $6.5 million offered by River, although it would have the advantage of sending cash immediately. Exchange rate problems or banking restrictions.
Will that offer come?
