Career

Borja started his career in Paraguay with Cerro Porteño, initially featuring for their U20 team.[1][2] He made his professional bow during an away draw with General Díaz in April 2014, featuring for the last twenty-five minutes of what was his only appearance in the 2014 Paraguayan Primera División season.[1] On 31 January 2015, Sportivo Luqueño loaned Borja.[1] He scored his opening career goal during his first start on 25 February versus Deportivo Santaní.[1] He returned to Cerro Porteño in June, subsequently scoring his first goal for the club in December during a 2–3 win over Sol de América at the Estadio Feliciano Cáceres.[1]

February 2016 saw the forward move to Brazilian football after agreeing a move to Resende.[1][3] He netted a brace over Friburguense on his way to three strikes in nine matches in the Campeonato Carioca.[1] Having returned to his parent club in mid-2016, Borja spent the rest of the year on loan at fellow Paraguayan Primera División team Guaraní.[1] On 27 July 2017, Borja joined General Díaz.[1] He ended the 2018 campaign with thirty-six appearances and sixteen goals.[1] In December 2018, Borja signed a pre-contract agreement with Argentinos Juniors of the Argentine Primera División; effective from January 2019.[4][5][6]
