  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Herrera’s current contract with Athletic Club is set to expire this summer. Reports indicate Boca have offered him a deal running until December 2025, with an option to extend. The Spanish midfielder has struggled for consistent game time this season, making 14 appearances but starting in only three matches. A muscle injury has kept him sidelined recently, further limiting his contributions to the team.

After making his professional debut with Real Zaragoza, he earned a move to Athletic Club, where his performances caught the eye of United. During his time at Old Trafford, Herrera was a vital cog in midfield, helping the team win multiple trophies, including the Europa League and FA Cup.
