Man City reach verbal agreement with Echeverri, announcement to be made soon

The race for Claudio Echeverri's transfer is finally over. After several days of rumours about a possible move to Manchester City, the Argentine midfielder will try his luck in England. 

Although the Spanish giants FC Barcelona were interested in landing the River Plate star with an offer of 30 million euros, the player seems to have preferred to join the Sky Blues. 

The 17-year-old playmaker will be committed to Pep Guardiola's side until 2026, but will not join them until he is of age, meaning he will travel to Europe in December 2024, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed.

In addition, the Argentine and Manchester City have already reached a verbal agreement and the Mancunian club expect all documents to be signed this week with River Plate and Echeverri’s camp.
