Luciano Herrera is set to join Newell's Old Boys on a one-year loan with an option for a permanent transfer. As an extremely left-footed player, his transfer is part of Newell's strategy to bolster their squad after the sale of Francisco González to Defensa y Justicia. The deal for Herrera was finalized with Defensa y Justicia, where he made a notable contribution by scoring 2 goals and providing 3 assists in 44 matches during 2024. This acquisition is in line with Newell's pressing need to improve their offensive strength following a difficult start to the season under the guidance of coach Mariano Soso.
