River Plate and Manchester City They have everything agreed for the transfer of the youth player Claudio Echeverrithe new jewel of Argentine football and figure of the last Under 17 World Cup from FIFA, and only the official announcement remains.
This week there will be an end to a negotiation that accelerated in the last days of December, since the “Diablito” announced that he would not renew his contract beyond December 2024, with the idea of being transferred to European football.
According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, specialist in the international transfer market, Manchester City will pay River 14.5 million euros and 9 million will be added with objectives to be met. Echeverri’s termination clause was around $25 million.
The “Little Devil” shone in the Under 17 World Cup in Indonesia, where he scored five goals and gave one assist in seven games, and generated the interest of Barcelona, in the first instance, but it was Manchester City that accelerated decisively to ensure it for the future.
The playmaker born in Resistencia, Chaco, will complete 2024 at River with the hope of becoming champion, especially of the Copa Libertadores, which will be the club’s highest sporting objective.
So far, “Diablito” Echeverri has played six games for River – one as a starter – and participated in two titles: the Professional League and the Champions Trophy in 2023.
The opposition leader Carlos Trillo commented on the social network It was a mistake to let him go without signing a new contract knowing that the world would see him play.
On the other hand, River continues to search for a forward to reinforce the attack before the departure of Venezuelan Salomón Rondón. Once the possibility of repatriating Lucas Alario was ruled out, a rumor appeared in River about Jose Lopez, former Lanús and current Palmeiras of Brazil. However, the Brazilian team’s claims contrast greatly with the intentions of Núñez’s club.
At the last minute, River’s interest arose in midfielder Juan Sforza, who plays for Newell’s Old Boys. Beyond the fact that the “Millonario” has Matías Kranevitter and added the Uruguayan Nicolás Fonseca, coach Martín Demichelis intends to reinforce the squad with one more midfielder.
On the other hand, the Moroccan Yassine Bounou, better known as Bono, reiterated his desire to play for River. “Win a title with the national team and play for River,” said the Moroccan national team goalkeeper in a note with YouTuber Ezzequiel.
Bono, born in Canada and nationalized Moroccan, expressed on several occasions his fanaticism for River and his admiration for Ariel Arnaldo Ortega, one of the great idols of the Núñez club.
