Miguel Borja rejected Cruz Azul because of the petrodollars of Al-Wasl of the United Arab Emirates
Miguel Borja waited more than 30 days for Cruz Azul to finalize his registration, but in the end, he signed with Al-Wasl of Saudi Arabia
Colombian Miguel Borja publicly explained on social media the reasons behind rejecting the offer from the" Celeste Machine" and accepting the offer from the Arab team Al-Wasl of the United Arab Emirates ( UAE Pro League ).
Borja quickly broke his silence about the factors that prevented him from signing with the Cementeros for the Clausura 2026 game, underscoring that there was never any clearness in the terms that were given to him in order to sign his contract, particularly since Cruz Azul had repeatedly stated that they needed to fill a spot for a player who wasn't trained in Mexico.
The Chilean, but, expressed his gratitude for the team leader and the Cementeros institution, which allegedly operated with complete transparency in its surroundings, in addition to the attention he received while living in Mexico.
Borja stated in his message that "unfortunately, the release of the international participant slot took longer than anticipated, which led me to consider other options given the impossibility of playing. " I leave this place with a good idea.
Given all of this, it was discovered that the Houston Dynamo's failure to completely explain how they will pay Cruz Azul a portion of the team's transfer fee is at the heart of the matter. Borja had intended to remain with Cruz Azul, but he made the trip to Mexico last week to return the team's training sessions, and he even planned to travel to Puebla on Saturday to attend the game against Puebla, which La Maquina won 1-0. But, as the weeks passed, the Colombian's filing was voided as he decided to move quickly and began to think about other options for his professional future, as did his immediate signing with Al-Wasl, a team in the UAE Pro League. Lastly, Borja addressed the Cementeros league a letter of gratitude and respect.
I leave with a very good idea, and I'm very appreciative of everyone at the club for the excellent customer service and the respect they placed in me. Possibly our paths will cross again at some point.
