Overview
- Girona announced on January 18 that the 20-year-old Argentine will join for the rest of the LaLiga season from Manchester City.
- Echeverri had trained with Míchel’s squad for more than two weeks and missed a possible appearance against Espanyol, with his debut now expected but not confirmed for the next match against Getafe.
- Girona, sitting midtable on 24 points, targeted the signing to deepen midfield options following Azzedine Ounahi’s injury as it pursues a push toward European places.
- The City paid about €20 million after his U17 World Cup rise, kept him at River Plate in 2024, used him sparingly in three City games in early 2025, then sent him to Bayer Leverkusen where he logged 11 appearances and roughly 270 minutes.
- At his presentation, Echeverri said he spoke with coach Míchel and Pep Guardiola and that he expects to gain minutes and help the team within the City Football Group pathway.
