Attacking intent
Exciting attacking midfielder Claudio Echeverri joined up with Pep’s squad in February 2025 after signing for the Club in January 2024.
The 19-year-old arrives in Manchester off the back of a spectacular Under-20 South American Championship campaign, where he captained his nation to a runners-up finish.
His six goals in nine appearances made him the second highest scorer at the tournament, with braces against Brazil and Uruguay the standout contributions.
It was the latest landmark in a glittering youth international career, after captaining Argentina at the 2023 U17 World Cup and scoring five goals, including a hat-trick against Brazil.
Despite his tender years, Echeverri represented River Plate’s senior side 48 times, scoring four goals and providing eight assists.
Former City defender Martin Demichelis, who was manager at El Monumental until July 2024, gave him his debut in June 2023.
Since then, he has played 10 times in the Copa Libertadores – South America’s premier continental competition and 24 games in Argentina’s top-flight.
With a contract at City that runs until the summer of 2028, he will now be part of our squad for the remainder of the 2024/25 campaign and beyond.
