Miguel Ángel Borja arrived in Colombia to sign with Junior de Barranquilla, a club where he previously played on loan. The forward pass, one of the figures of the national team, belongs to Palmeiras, although last season he wore the colors of Gremio, relegated to Série B in Brazil, and will not take place on his return to Verdão.
Because, The two-time Copa Libertadores team decided to listen to offers and from El Tiburon they were one of the first to raise their voices, with the illusion of closing the purchase of the 28-year-old footballer. Thus, Colombians will disburse about 3.5 million dollars for 50% of their token, numbers that serve Palmeiras, but that are not even close to what they paid for at the time.
