Herrera also expressed his gratitude to the club for the opportunity given: "I am very grateful to the club for giving me the opportunity to realize one of the dreams of my career, which is to wear this jersey and represent these colors." In his message, he did not forget to thank the management and new coaching staff: "Thank you to Román and good luck to the new staff, I wish them a lot of success which is also the success of all of us, for those of us who love this club."
Arriving at the club in 2025, Herrera leaves Boca after a short spell filled with injury problems but one that also showed great dedication. In total, he has made 29 appearances, scored one goal, and suffered several muscle injuries that disrupted his continuity. With this farewell, a short but meaningful experience ended with respect.
