The Columbus Crew extended defender Andres Herrera's loan from Argentina's River Plate through June 2026 and acquired midfielder Hugo Picard from Ligue 2 side EA Guingamp.

Herrera's 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.

Picard's deal is through 2028 with an option for 2029.

'Hugo is a dynamic player who possesses a tremendous work ethic. His tactical acumen and ability in the final third will help continue to elevate the level of our team,' Tall said. 'We believe Hugo has the tools to thrive within our environment and will be able to contribute meaningfully to our club's success, both now and in the future. We look forward to integrating him into our system and supporting his continued development as a member of the Black & Gold.'

The 22-year-old from France had 10 goals and 15 assists in 104 matches across all competitions for Guingamp.
