Will Ander Herrera stay at Boca? Midfielder set to decide his future | OneFootball

Amid uncertainty regarding his future with Xeneize, Ander Herrera is clear about one thing: if he doesn’t stay at Boca, he won’t wear another jersey. The midfielder is seriously considering the possibility of putting an end to his professional career, even though his contract with the club runs until December 2026.

The player is traveling to Spain to spend the holidays with his family. During this break, he will decide whether to remain involved in football or take a step back. Despite the distance, he remains in constant contact with Boca’s management and coaching staff.

Riquelme is attentive to Ander Herrera’s decision.

The main motivation driving him to continue is the Copa Libertadores. Herrera dreams of playing in the top continental tournament with Boca, and that hope could be the decisive factor for him to extend his career, at least for one more year.

What is certain is that at the beginning of 2026, specifically on Friday, January 2, he will return to the Ezeiza training ground. There, he will either show up to start preseason as just another player, or to collect his belongings—which he has not yet taken, contrary to rumors—and say goodbye to his teammates. The final decision is in his hands.

Ander Herrera’s numbers at Boca

The Basque has played 17 matches since joining the club. Although his time at the blue and gold institution has been marked by absences due to muscle injuries, the Bilbao native was beginning to get more minutes, coming off the bench and leaving a good impression with his performances.

Ander Herrera even wore the captain’s armband in a match.

It was surprising that he didn’t get any minutes in the team’s last game of the year, as Claudio Úbeda had been using him as an important option for the final minutes, taking advantage of his freshness and experience to help the team.

This was a blow for Ander, who didn’t expect to leave without playing in the last match with Xeneize. Surely, this could serve as motivation for the 36-year-old footballer, who knows how to bounce back from tough times and return to Boca to fight for the most important title.
