Manchester City Acquires Young Argentine Talent Claudio Echeverri

Echeverri signs contract until 2028, but will remain on loan at River Plate for the rest of 2024.

Claudio Echeverri, an 18-year-old Argentine footballer, has been transferred from River Plate to Manchester City for a deal worth £12.5 million ($15.9m) plus add-ons.
Echeverri has signed a contract until 2028, but will be loaned back to River Plate for the rest of 2024.
Despite his young age and limited senior experience, Echeverri has shown promise, particularly with a hat-trick against Brazil at the recent Under-17 World Cup.
Manchester City's approach is similar to their previous transfer of Julian Alvarez, but Echeverri is not expected to make an immediate impact like Alvarez did.
Speculations suggest that Echeverri might be loaned to Girona in Spain after his stint at River Plate.
