Claudio Echeverri, a young player from Argentina, has been acquired by Manchester City after completing the transfer from River Plate. He is going to be the first rookie for the Green Man during the transfer window that occurs in January.
The signing of Claudio Echeverri has been finalized by Manchester City.
Echeverri is yet another one of Argentina’s young players that has great potential. Because of his outstanding performance with River Plate in the Argentine National League, Manchester City took notice of him and offered him a contract immediately.
It has been reported by Fabrizio Romano, an expert in transfer matters, that Manchester City and River Plate have reached a consensus about Echeverri. However, he will remain with River Plate until December 2024 before joining the English squad, despite the fact that the Citizens would spend 22 million pounds for this young star.
A duration of six years is included in Echeverri’s contract with the team that is now defending their Premier League title. Following in the footsteps of Julian Alvarez, he will become the second player from River Plate and Argentina to join Manchester City.
Despite the fact that the 17-year-old has only played for River Plate four times this season, he had a fantastic performance in the FIFA U17 World Cup, which just ended. Over the course of the competition, he finished in second place on the list of top scorers with five goals.
As a result of the tournament described above, Echeverri is the most sought-after player for transfer by big clubs in Europe. This young talent is attracting interest from Inter Milan, Juventus, and AC Milan, among other European clubs. It is also possible to mention Real Madrid and Barcelona. On the other hand, Manchester City prevailed over their competitors and reached a deal with River Plate to get this player.
Considering that Manchester City still has a large number of outstanding young stars, such as Micah Hamilton and Oscar Bobb, the signing of Claudio Echeverri will undoubtedly generate a bright future for the club.
