  • Echeverri is traveling to Germany today for a medical before the loan is finalized.
  • The arrangement is framed as a development step to accelerate his adaptation to European football and increase first-team minutes.

  • He is set to join fellow former River Plate and Argentina midfielder Exequiel Palacios, and reports note earlier links to Girona and Roma as well as a late Borussia Dortmund push.
