The 31-year-old has already arrived at El Nuevo Gasometro, a stadium famous for its atmosphere. He has signed a one-year deal with the Argentine club, and it will be interesting to see how he adapts to his new surroundings.
The attacking midfielder spent close to 20 years with Athletic Club, and established himself as a club legend. He led the team to the Copa del Rey, ending their trophy drought which lasted for decades, before announcing his departure at the peak.
Now, it remains to be seen how he performs in Argentina with a new style of play to adapt to.
