Coming from Fabrizio Romano this morning Manchester city has signed £26m gem who is combination of Messi & Maradona
Man City said that they have signed a £26 million jewel that is a Messi and Maradona combo.
Claudio Echeverri, who has been compared to both Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona, is a truly unique talent that Manchester City has now been informed they are signing.
Speaking to Pagina 12, the one who initially scouted the Argentina U17 international for River Plate was Daniel Brizuela.
What was mentioned regarding Claudio Echeverri, then, following Manchester City’s agreement with River Plate? Let’s examine this.
Manchester City announced that they have recruited a combination of Maradona and Messi.
This is a pretty bold claim to make about an eighteen-year-old.
Still, it only serves to highlight how highly esteemed Echeverri is in Argentina.
“He is a football player who has a mix between Maradona and Messi,” Brizuela said to Pagina 12. He has Diego’s disposition and the fortitude to seize the ball and advance. The other aspect is football, where he resembles Lionel a lot with his dribbling, which begins on the flank, travels to the middle, and ends with a goal.
ADVANCED CITY STORIES
If so, Manchester City’s £26 million offer for Echeverri may turn out to be a good deal in the near future.
But, the teenager was sent on a 12-month loan back to River Plate, so it will be some time before Manchester City supporters see him play at the Etihad Stadium.
Echeverri must be protected against such remarks by Manchester City.
Although Echeverri must find it flattering to be compared to players like Messi and Maradona, Manchester City and River Plate need to make sure the South American prodigy isn’t overburdened by such accolades.
Both teams have an obligation to take care of the prodigy who was born in Resistencia because the £26 million price tag alone is undoubtedly a burden on his shoulders.
With any luck, Echeverri can reach his enormous potential and establish himself as a key member of Manchester City.
