Last week, Atlético de Madrid confirmed the arrival of midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia on a three-season agreement. The Frenchman was chosen by coach Diego Simeone to replace Thomas Partey, who left to Arsenal for 50 million euros. However, the news was not well received by all players.

Thanks to Partey's departure, Hector Herrera had begun to be a starter at the Spanish club. However, after Kondogbia's arrival, he will have to compete again for the coach's consideration. Therefore, the 30-year-old Mexican is likely to choose to terminate his contract and change of team.

That is the reason why Herrera might leave in the next winter transfer window. His final decision will depend on whether the Argentinian coach sends him to the bench for the next few games. In that case, the Mexican would already have in mind which team he is going to sign with next season.

The Mexican would be willing to return to FC Porto, where he played from 2013 to 2019. There, he scored 35 goals and gave the same number of assists in 238 games. On the other hand, Zenit would also be interested in Herrera, who may decide to go to Russia to receive a higher salary. His future will be defined in the next few days.
