“Here We Go”: Fabrizio Romano reveals six-year deal to join Manchester City’s midfield
Fabrizio Romano, a trade expert, says that Claudio Echeverri, a young star player for River Plate and the Argentina youth national team, has been signed by Manchester City.
Officials at the Etihad Stadium have had to fight off strong desire from across the game to sign the talented teenager. Teams like FC Barcelona and Chelsea are said to have been keeping an eye on the player’s progress.
The signing of Claudio Echeverri was seen as a top priority by those at Manchester City who are in charge of getting the next wave of up-and-coming players. This comes after the club made recent signings from South America and Europe.
You may also remember that Manchester City and the City Football Group have signed players like Yan Couto, Savinho, and Maximo Perrone in the past few seasons. They also made a strong bond with River Plate by signing Julian Alvarez.
Now, Claudio Echeverri can be added to the list, which is growing all the time. On Sunday night, new reports came out about the current state of an agreement for the player who led Argentina to victory at the recent FIFA under-17 World Cup.
Fabrizio Romano, a person who knows a lot about transfers, says that Claudio Echeverri’s move to Manchester City is now officially “here we go” after the two clubs swapped papers to finalise the deal.
The 17-year-old midfielder will stay with his present team, River Plate, until December 2024. He will then go to Europe so that Manchester City can decide what to do with him during the January 2025 transfer window.
The team that won the UEFA Super Cup and UEFA Champions League last year has signed Claudio Echeverri to a six-year deal. This makes it five titles in a single calendar year.
At this point, it’s not clear what Manchester City will do with the player when he arrives in Europe next winter. However, there is still a chance that Pep Guardiola could help him grow with the first team.
Moving on loan within the City Football Group is still an option, though. Given Girona’s position in the La Liga table this season, the Spanish club is a popular choice for some of Manchester City’s best players.
