He wrote on X, which used to be Twitter, “Understand Manchester City are moving towards the final stages of the Claudio Echeverri deal; talks are still going on today.”
This deal with River Plate will be set up the same way as the one for Julián Álvarez. Echeverri will stay on loan. Package worth more than €20m. There will be more.”
It was great for City to have Julian Alvarez on the team. He has been one of their best players so far this season.
He joined the team in the summer of 2022, even though City had agreed to the deal ahead of time and the player had been staying at River Plate at first.
That was a smart move because Alvarez made a big difference for City right away and didn’t need much time to get used to the team.
There could be another gem in Echeverri.
This is very exciting news, and it looks like City are about to sign another top young Argentine player.
Over the years, the club has had a lot of great Argentine players at the Etihad Stadium. Alvarez is the most recent one.
It’s clear that people think Echeverri could be a great addition, and City also seem to think that the way the Alvarez deal is set up can pay off in the same way.
Forbes also thinks that Echeverri could be the next big star to come out of River’s talent farm. Early comparisons to Lionel Messi have also been made, which is all very exciting.
No changes will be made as of now, but fans should definitely keep an eye on this.
