Coach Ernesto Valverde had confirmed during the week that Herrera had informed him of his desire to move to Boca, a wish that was fulfilled on Friday. The Lions announced his departure for free, shortly before Boca made the move official. He follows in the footsteps of his former teammate Iker Muniain, who signed for San Lorenzo last summer.

In total, Herrera has played 189 games for Athletic, 61 of them in his second stage, which lasted for years. The 35-year-old signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with Boca and fulfills a dream he had previously stated. Part of Athletic’s Copa del Rey winning team, that was the highlight of his return. He has caused some disappointment at Real Zaragoza, his first club, and where he had indicated that he wanted to return in the last years of his career.
