Man City Send Claudio Echeverri on Six-Month Girona Loan After Leverkusen Recall

The move keeps the 19-year-old in a City Football Group environment to secure meaningful La Liga minutes.

Overview

  • Echeverri’s Leverkusen stint was cut short after 11 largely substitute appearances, with manager Kasper Hjulmand confirming his return to Manchester City.
  • Multiple reports state Girona will take the midfielder on a straight loan until June with no add-ons or special clauses.
  • The player’s agent said Echeverri wanted a return to River Plate, but City declined a South American loan to keep him in Europe.
  • Girona, reported in 18th place in La Liga, expect the Argentine to add creativity as they fight to avoid relegation.
  • City view the Girona spell as a closely monitored audition for their long-term plans within the CFG pathway.
