Before the start of the Clausura 2026, there was interest from Saudi Arabia in 33-year-old Colombian defender Cristian Borja. Cristian Borja was close to leaving América, and the club decided to reinforce the left-back position with Thiago Espinosa. Despite offers from Arab football, Borja remained at América for the semester. América has received approaches from different teams outside Mexico for Cristian Borja, who could leave the club in the summer. Any club wishing to acquire his rights will have to pay a transfer fee, as he has a current contract with América. Borja joined the club in July 2024 and has been capped 9 times by Colombia. His current market value is €1.70m, according to Transfermarkt.
