Ander Herrera nears surprise transfer to Boca Juniors fulfilling long-held dream

Ander Herrera, the former Manchester United midfielder, is nearing a transfer to Argentine club Boca Juniors. The 35-year-old has expressed a long-standing desire to play for Boca, influenced by his father's connections to the club. Herrera, who played for Manchester United from 2014 to 2019, has been with Athletic Bilbao and Paris Saint-Germain before returning to Bilbao in 2023. He is out of contract this summer and is expected to undergo a medical in Argentina soon. Boca Juniors is preparing for their 2025 season, which starts later this month. If the transfer goes through, Herrera could reunite with former teammate Marcos Rojo at the club.
