Boca Juniors Eyes Ander Herrera as They Seek to Reinforce Squad After Tough Season

Boca Juniors, one of the most iconic clubs in Argentina and South America, is on the hunt for new talent as it seeks to end a title drought that has extended since 2022. The club, home to star player Edinson Cavani, is reportedly eyeing another former Paris Saint-Germain player to bolster its squad.

With an impressive collection of 35 national titles and six Copa Libertadores victories, Boca Juniors remains a heavyweight in the football world. However, after a challenging 2024 season that concluded with a disappointing sixth place in the league, the team, now under the guidance of newly appointed coach Fernando Gago since October, is in urgent need of reinforcements.

Potential signing of Ander Herrera

Reports suggest that Ander Herrera, the former PSG midfielder, could be on his way to Boca Juniors. After a stint at Paris Saint-Germain from 2019 to 2022, the Basque player returned to Athletic Bilbao, where he has struggled to maintain a starting position this season, featuring in just eight La Liga matches. This lack of playing time may prompt Herrera to seek new opportunities.

Although Athletic Bilbao’s management is open to letting the ex-Manchester United player leave for South America, they are taking a cautious approach. Currently participating in the Supercopa de España in Saudi Arabia, it has been reported by reputable sources that discussions regarding Herrera’s transfer are expected to commence only after this tournament concludes. There’s a possibility that he could depart with a final trophy on January 12th.
