Miguel Borja’s potential move to Corinthians is currently stirring debate among fans on social media. The Colombian striker, currently with River Plate, may be on the move following reported internal conflicts with coach Marcelo Gallardo.
Opinions among Corinthians supporters are divided regarding Borja. Some believe that his past association with rival Palmeiras, along with his contentious relationship with Gallardo, makes him an unsuitable addition. A fan commented, “No way. Besides being a poor player, he’s from the rival, and he’s already had ego clashes with the coach. The Corinthians coach isn’t among the best either.” Many fans feel the team has enough problems without adding Borja to the mix.
Contrary to some fans’ hopes, there does not appear to be any official interest from Corinthians in acquiring the striker; discussions are largely confined to online chatter. Borja has had a significant career at River Plate, having played 139 matches where he scored 61 goals and provided nine assists since joining the club in 2022.
In his earlier stint at Junior FC in Colombia, Borja shone brightly, scoring 51 goals in 86 matches. However, his time at Palmeiras did not leave a lasting impression, as he only managed 36 goals in 112 appearances.
Looking ahead, Corinthians will face a challenging matchup against Palmeiras on July 30 in the Copa do Brasil, coming off a recent loss to Bragantino in the Brasileirão.
While the rumors surrounding Borja’s potential move create buzz, it seems many fans prefer to focus on their team’s current performance and upcoming challenges rather than speculation about new signings.
