Amidst all the uncertainty surrounding how things are handled at Cruz Azul, Colombian Miguel Borja publicly explained on social media the reasons for rejecting the offer from the "Celeste Machine" and accept the offer from the Arab team Al-Wasl of the United Arab Emirates (UAE Pro League).

Borja didn't take long to break his silence regarding the reasons that led to the failure of his signing with the Cementeros for the Clausura 2026 tournament, highlighting that there was never any clarity in the details they gave him to sign his contract, especially since Cruz Azul always told him they needed to free up a spot for a player not trained in Mexico.

The Colombian, however, had words of gratitude for the team president and for the Cementeros institution, which supposedly operated with total transparency in its environment, in addition to all the attention he received during his stay in Mexico.

In his message, Borja said: “Unfortunately, the release of the foreign player slot took longer than expected, which led me to listen to other options given the impossibility of playing. I leave with a positive impression of this institution.”

Given all this, it was learned that the crux of the The issue of the delay in the signing of Mateusz Bogusz is due to the Houston Dynamo not fully clarifying how they will pay Cruz Azul part of the player's transfer fee. Borja had intended to stay with Cruz Azul, returning to Mexico last week to rejoin the team's training sessions and even traveling to Puebla on Saturday to be present for the match against Puebla, where La Maquina won 1-0. However, as the days passed, the delay in this matter closed the door on the Colombian's signing, who opted not to wait any longer and began to analyze other alternatives for his professional future, as happened when he promptly signed with the UAE Pro League team Al-Wasl. Finally, Borja left a message of respect and gratitude towards the Cementeros club.

“I leave with a very positive impression and am very grateful to everyone at the club for the great treatment and the trust they placed in me. Perhaps our paths will cross again sometime.”
