The River Plate player is in the sights of clubs from the MLS, Turkey and Brazil

River Plate right-back Andrés Herrera is in the eye of the international transfer hurricane. After receiving an offer from Fortaleza, which was promptly turned down by the Argentinian club due to the low value, new interested parties have emerged, this time from the MLS and Turkey. The 25-year-old, who has alternated between starter and substitute in recent years under Martin Demichelis, is being hotly contested in this transfer window. And no wonder. Herrera, who came through the ranks at San Lorenzo and has a solid record at River, is attracting interest from a number of clubs in search of reinforcements for their defenses.

River Plate's rejection of Fortaleza's offer was no surprise. The Argentinian club is looking for something more substantial to release a player who, despite not being at his best, played a crucial role in the 2021 and 2022 Libertadores. In 2020, Palmeiras also tried to sign Herrera, but the offer was rejected, which demonstrates the consistency and value that the player still has on the market.

The MLS's interest in the player is a reflection of the strategy of North American clubs to strengthen their teams with international talent. Herrera, with his experience and ability to play both on the wing and in midfield, fits this profile perfectly. It's not yet known which MLS club is closest to formalizing a bid, but it's clear that the league is looking at good investments.

In Turkey, the situation is no different. Turkish clubs have a history of signing South American players who can bring a new dynamic to local soccer. Herrera's possible transfer also highlights River Plate's situation. The club, who recently renewed the full-back's contract until December 2026, are looking forward to a lucrative sale that could balance their finances and make room for new talent from their youth ranks. Herrera, who has made 80 appearances for River, scoring three goals and providing four assists, could be the key to an advantageous deal.

Meanwhile, Fortaleza haven't given up completely. Even though their initial bid was rejected, the Brazilian club is keeping a close eye on the market, waiting for an opportunity to sign the full-back.

Herrera, for his part, is going through a time of uncertainty, but also of great opportunities. A move to the MLS or another league could revitalize his career and offer new challenges. However, leaving River Plate, a club where he has built a significant career, is not an easy decision. The player must weigh up all the pros and cons before making a definitive decision.
