The Columbus Crew extended defender Andres Herrera's loan from Argentina's River Plate through June 2026.

The deal announced by the MLS club on Monday includes a purchase option for the 26-year-old Argentina native.

"Andres has shown his professionalism and talent since he first joined our club, and we are pleased to extend his tenure in Columbus," Crew general manager Issa Tall said. "He has and will continue to demonstrate his competitive spirit and make a meaningful contribution to our group as we enter the second half of the season."

Herrera has tallied two goals and two assists in 21 MLS matches (11 starts) since arriving in August 2024. His original loan expired on June 30.
