MADRID, 1 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Athletic Club reported this Wednesday that “it has executed the option to remain in ownership” of midfielder Ander Herrera until June 30, 2024, a clause that had been agreed in the loan agreement with French Paris Saint-Germain.
The man from Bilbao returned to the Biscayan club last summer, which he had left in 2014 to head towards English Manchester United. Since 2019, he belonged to the Parisian team, which decided to loan him to the rojiblanco team for this season and with the aforementioned purchase option for the next.
The midfielder acknowledged at a press conference that this action by Athletic Club was not “news” on a personal level. “I knew that I was going to be here for two years, I understand that officialdom has been a bureaucratic issue,” he admitted at a press conference, where he settled with a resounding “no” any possibility of having returned to Paris and that it did not affect him at all in your personal contract details.
