Claudio Echeverri, a young player from River Plate who is believed to be the “new Messi” of Argentine football, is on the verge of being signed by Manchester City, the team that won the FIFA Club World Cup. These negotiations are now in progress.

The success of the Etihad Stadium team may be attributed, in large part, to the accomplishments shown by Manchester City in the transfer market over the past few years and the fact that everything is proceeding according to plan. For a number of years, Pep Guardiola’s team has been the dominant force in English football, and they won the treble in the most recent season.

During the current season, Manchester City continues to attain greater success, culminating in the 2023 calendar year with the FIFA Club World Cup triumph. This accomplishment marks the completion of a remarkable quintet, a feat that has never been accomplished by any English side in the past. With the help of a fair transfer plan, Manchester City was able to achieve success.

Ilkay Gundogan, Riyad Mahrez, Cole Palmer, and Aymeric Laporte were among the players who left Manchester City during the most recent summer transfer window. This resulted in a relatively minor change to the team’s roster. However, in order to replace them, coach Guardopla brought in Mateo Kovacic, Jeremy Doku, and Josko Gvardiol. Despite this, the blue half of Manchester still has a very strong roster.

Furthermore, “taking shortcuts and taking the lead” is also the transfer philosophy that Manchester City has subscribed to in recent years, when they have been successful in luring young players from all over the world of football. There is a talented player who is being considered to become a new version of Lionel Messi, and Green Man is already on the verge of signing him.

In spite of the fact that he is just 17 years old, Claudio Echeverri is currently employed by the Argentine team River Plate, where he has successfully progressed through the youth squad levels. There have been comparisons made between Echeverri and Messi, and he is currently garnering the attention of numerous European heavyweights such as Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and Barcelona. Echeverri is also playing for Argentina’s Under-17 side. However, according to the most recent information provided by Fabrizio Romano, a specialist on transfers, it appears that Manchester City is in a position to get Echeverri’s services.

Romano published a report on his own Twitter account stating that the agreement with Echeverri is getting closer to the “final stage” and that the transfer fee is about approximately twenty million euros. Additionally, in a manner that is analogous to the situation that occurred with Julian Alvarez not too long ago, Echeverri will remain with the Argentine team until June 2024, after which he will go to England.

The transfer of Claudio Echeverri to Manchester City is getting closer and closer to its conclusion. There are still communications taking place. As the agreement with River Plate in this trade is identical to the one with Julián Álvarez, it is clear that Echeverri will continue to be on loan. According to Romano, the transfer cost for Echeverri will be something in the neighborhood of twenty million euros.
