Ander Herrera Signs with Boca Juniors
Former Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera has joined Boca Juniors, leaving Athletic Bilbao to start a new chapter in Argentina.
Ander Herrera, the Spanish midfielder who previously starred for Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain, has joined Boca Juniors, signaling an exciting addition for the Argentine club. Herrera leaves Athletic Bilbao, his boyhood team, to embark on a new challenge in South America.
The transfer was finalized with a fee of €2 million, and Herrera has signed a contract that runs until December 2025, with an option to extend. This move represents a significant career shift for the 35-year-old, who expressed his desire to experience South American football and the passion of Boca Juniors' fan base.
Herrera brings a wealth of experience to Boca Juniors. During his time at Manchester United from 2014 to 2019, he became a key figure in their midfield, making over 130 appearances and helping the club win the FA Cup and Europa League. He then moved to Paris Saint-Germain, where he spent four seasons, contributing to their domestic dominance and Champions League campaigns.
The Spanish midfielder is expected to strengthen Boca's midfield options as they compete for titles in the Argentine league and international tournaments. Herrera reunites with his former Manchester United teammate Marcos Rojo, who has been a standout player for Boca Juniors. The two share a history of success and are expected to play pivotal roles in the club's upcoming matches.
In a statement, Herrera expressed his excitement about playing at La Bombonera, Boca Juniors' legendary stadium, known for its electrifying atmosphere. "I've always admired the passion of Boca's fans and the history of this club. It's an honor to wear this shirt," he said during his unveiling.
This signing is Boca Juniors' third major acquisition this season, following the arrivals of Pablo Palacios and Ayrton Costa. The club hopes that Herrera's leadership and experience will elevate their performance in both domestic and international competitions.
As Boca Juniors continue to build their squad, Herrera's arrival is seen as a statement of intent. His addition adds depth and quality to a team that aspires to challenge for every trophy in sight.
