Colombians From being a star signing to being forgotten
meIt’s an unsolved mystery. Those enigmatic cases that not even in the afterlife can be deciphered. Miguel Ángel Borja, who was the most expensive purchase in the history of Palmeiras, does not live his best hours with the club, after confirming that will not be enrolled for the semifinal against River Plate in the Copa Libertadores. A direct blow to the heart of the Cordovan attacker after reaching his end of adventure with Junior de Barranquilla. But the question that many fans ask is And what happened for this to end like this? And the answer is much more complex.
His arrival for the 2017 season in exchange for 10.5 million dollars He showed that the Verdao aimed yes or yes to win the Copa Libertadores. After a dream 2016 with Nacional, lifting the trophy, the fans paid the best tribute to the coffee striker at Guarulhos airport after his arrival. The club-player relationship he was doing wonders and his debut couldn’t be better: goal against Ferroviária for Paulista.

Although Miguel Ángel finished with ten goals in 32 games for the local tournaments (Paulista and Serie A), in the Libertadores his record set off the alarms. Zero goals in seven outings. What generated more doubts than certainties since he came from converting five targets in four games with the Antioquia team. But hey, his name was emerging for great things after a year of adaptation in Brazil.
In 2018 his name was on all the covers. To such an extent that the club’s official website and Twitter account praised the goalscorer’s achievements; on the social network they honored him by writing “I went looking for a synonym for gunner and I found ‘Borja'”, and on the club page they delved into the records of the Colombian attacker in the season. In the end: 20 celebrations in 44 commitments.
For the following campaign all roads led to its ownership even in training. But to add insult to injury, his dialogues with the coaches (Scolari and Menezes) never ended with a full stop. There was always a but and they say that to be a DT “you just have to have a card and be stubborn.” So it was. A horror movie took hold and the club went crazy to get out of it, seeing him as the least important sheep in the flock.

Thus, a new dark episode of his stay comes to light when he affirms that he was surprised by the last decision made by the club with him, not even taking it into account for the semifinal against River Plate for the Copa Libertadores, despite to be available by not advance with Junior in the other half of the glory such as the Copa Sudamericana. Which makes it look like the inexplicable case of Miguel Ángel Borja with Palmeiras.
