River Remains Silent on Borja’s Future Amid Goal Drought

Miguel Borja's future at River Plate is increasingly uncertain as the Colombian striker endures a difficult spell in front of goal. According to Bolavip, the club’s management has not opened any talks regarding a contract renewal, despite his deal expiring in December 2025.

This silence carries significant implications: Borja will be free to negotiate with other clubs starting in June if no new deal is reached. The club's inaction comes amid a looming presidential election, where many decisions, including contract extensions, may be influenced by the outcome.

Despite the public support from coach Marcelo Gallardo, who reportedly sees Borja as part of the squad for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, the 32-year-old has found the net only three times this season—against Lanús, San Martín de San Juan, and Sarmiento de Junín. The lack of service from midfield hasn't helped his cause, but the criticism from fans and pundits continues to grow.

There is growing speculation that River may entertain offers for Borja after the Club World Cup. While no official discussions have taken place, the scenario suggests the club is keeping its options open.

As it stands, Borja remains part of Gallardo’s plans, but the uncertainty surrounding his contract adds tension to an already complex season. Without a renewal in place, and with performance levels under scrutiny, the second half of 2025 could bring major changes for the striker known as “El Colibrí.”
