“Dreams are to be fulfilled”, wrote Boca Juniors in the caption of their official X post on Friday above the video of Ander Herrera.The 35-year-old midfielder has joined the Argentinian giants in a move representing much more than a genuine football transfer, like thousands of others. No, this is – just as they pointed out – fulfilling a dream. More than a decade-long Herrera’s dream of joining the Xeneizes.Los sueños están para cumplirse ✨ pic.twitter.com/zrL3QxXfxH— Boca Juniors (@BocaJrsOficial) January 17, 2025 The veteran player starred for Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Athletic Bilbao and Zaragoza, but all this time his biggest desire was to land at iconic La Bombonera and to put that blue and yellow shirt on, like Danielle De Rossi did a few years ago for a handful of games.”I’m thrilled. It’s time to adapt and enjoy this one-of-a-kind experience. All I’m focused on is Boca,” Herrera shared upon arrival, before revealing his family ties with the club. “My father worked here for a long time and always talked about Boca. Playing here is special – it gives you goosebumps. Now, it’s time to enjoy the moment.”¿Cómo no te vamos a querer, Ander? La Bombonera te espera 🤩 pic.twitter.com/duvmvGN6MF— Boca Juniors (@BocaJrsOficial) January 17, 2025 Interestingly, Herrera visited La Bombonera a year ago, to watch their Copa Libertadores game against Colo-Colo in the company of his ex-Man Utd teammate, Marcos Rojo. That night, Herrera wore Boca Juniors’ shirt, and today, he put it back on, only this time as Boca’s new player.He arrives as a free agent after negotiating an early release from his Bilbao contract, six months before its original expiration.The man has shown us how – what are we waiting for?##NAJAVA_MECA_8640825##
