Through social media, Boca announced the renewal of several contracts, including that of Ander Herrera. The Spaniard will remain at the club for a while longer after both parties agreed to a significant salary reduction.
Marcelo Delgado, Xeneize’s manager, had several players sign new contracts today. The Basque was one of the footballers who visited the club’s offices at the Ezeiza training ground between sessions during the ongoing preseason.

Ander Herrera will continue at Boca.
Ander Herrera was one of the players called in by the manager to sign and make his stay at Boca official for another year. The Bilbao native had reached the end of his contract, which included an option for automatic renewal if both parties agreed, but that did not happen.
Ander decided to stay at the club, but with a salary reduction at his own request. The Basque made the gesture of asking for a significant pay cut because, since arriving at Boca, he has been able to play very little due to injuries.
In this way, the Spaniard will continue wearing the blue and gold shirt until the end of the year. Now recovered from the injuries that kept him off the pitch, he hopes to play a bigger role in Claudio Úbeda’s team and dreams of playing in the Copa Libertadores with the club.

The Spaniard wants to play in the Libertadores.
Since his arrival at Boca at the start of 2025, the former Athletic Club, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, and Real Zaragoza player has played a total of 17 official matches, without scoring goals or providing assists. The Basque will be looking for more playing time in Úbeda’s squad, with the Copa Libertadores as the main objective for the year.
