Echeverri, affectionately known as "El Diablito," has garnered attention for his exceptional performances on the international stage. As captain of Argentina's Under-20 team during the recent South American Championship, he netted six goals in nine matches, leading his team to the final.
During his tenure at River Plate, Echeverri made 48 appearances, contributing four goals. His versatility and on-field vision have drawn comparisons to Lionel Messi, highlighting his potential to make a significant impact in European football.
Initially, there was speculation about Echeverri gaining experience through a loan spell at a sister club. However, due to injuries within Manchester City's squad, manager Pep Guardiola has opted to integrate the young midfielder directly into the first team. Echeverri is expected to train with the senior squad and may feature in upcoming fixtures.
Expressing his enthusiasm, Echeverri stated, "I cannot tell you how excited I am to be here in Manchester and to finally be able to call myself a Manchester City player."
Manchester City, currently fourth in the Premier League, is set to host Plymouth Argyle in the FA Cup fifth round this weekend.
